Forecasts

Bletchley Storm (15/8), Churchill Rose (9/4), Beau Vintage (5/2), Total Lockdown (7/2), Eloped (5/1), Vision Of Hope (9/1), Voix De Bocelli (10/1), McCann The Man (33/1), Blondelle (40/1)

It could pay to side with VISION OF HOPE, who is 1 lb lower compared to when a close third at Wolverhampton in February. Beau Vintage will be a big threat if reproducing his recent all-weather form back on turf and C&D winner Churchill Rose is also accorded respect. Bletchley Storm is likely to attract support on the back of her Leicester victory but she's been hit hard by the handicapper for that and will face very different conditions here.
