Forecasts

Tiberio Force (4/1), Skilled Warrior (5/1), Freddy Robinson (13/2), Bay Dream Believer (8/1), Tasever (8/1), Mc'ted (8/1), Masque Of Anarchy (17/2), Franco Grasso (9/1), Star Start (10/1), Wath Court (16/1), Ballsbridge (22/1), Visitant (28/1), Capernoity (28/1), Lord Warburton (125/1)

Brian Ellison's FREDDY ROBINSON should take a step forward from his promising Nottingham reappearance fourth and can capitalise on a 1 lb lower mark here. C&D winner Masque 0f Anarchy is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Tiberio Force and Tasever.
