Forecasts

Global Tycoon (3/1), Bletchley Storm (4/1), Come To Pass (9/2), The Conqueror (5/1), Sunset In Paris (7/1), Qeyaady (12/1), Chourmo (14/1), Rita Rana (18/1), Native Melody (20/1), Miss Tiki (33/1), Hiccups (50/1), Red Hot Rose (66/1), On The Nose (66/1)

Having lookekd better than ever when scoring on return at Wolverhampton last weekend, GLOBAL TYCOON looks the way to go. A 4 lb nudge for that looks very fair indeed and he is marginally preferred to Bletchley Storm, who was below par last time but she will be a serious threat if able to bounce back here. The hat-trick seeking Sunset In Paris is another with a live chance.
