Forecasts

Al Barez (5/2), The Thames Boatman (13/2), Holy Fire (15/2), Al Ameen (15/2), Brazen Idol (15/2), Radio Goo Goo (17/2), Shalaa Asker (11/1), Twilight Madness (12/1), Almaty Star (14/1), Sergeant Pep (18/1), Orbital Chime (33/1), Crazy Luck (50/1)

AL BAREZ shaped well at Wolverhampton last time and could be the way to go. The Thames Boatman continues to shine on the AW and is a big player. Orbital Chime is also in the box on his return.
