Forecasts

Spanish Angel (4/1), Birkenhead (4/1), Basholo (4/1), So Sleepy (13/2), Wakai Umi (13/2), Howzak (10/1), Next Second (16/1), Granny B (40/1)

BASHOLO won over C&D in March and then again the following month, so looks up to defying a 4 lb higher mark. Ruth Carr's duo Spanish Angel and Next Second head the list of dangers.
