Forecasts

Aces Wild (5/2), Buraback (7/2), Conquistador (9/2), The Defiant (13/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (7/1), Howzak (9/1), New Hope Bullet (12/1), All In The Hips (16/1), Man On A Mission (22/1), Lady Nagin (33/1)

An open-looking sprint in which the suggestion is NEW HOPE BULLET, who shaped better than the bare result when fifth behind The Defiant over C&D 5 weeks ago and Alice Haynes' 4-y-o continues to edge down the weights. Aces Wild arrives chasing a hat-trick so he heads up the dangers, with the aforementioned The Defiant and Buraback also not out of things, either.
