Forecasts

Stormy Pearl (7/2), Rain Cap (9/2), The Gay Blade (5/1), Global Humor (6/1), Warminster (6/1), Mr Trevor (13/2), Empress Of Bough (17/2), Redshore City (9/1), John Kirkup (11/1), Hard Solution (33/1)

REDSHORE CITY has made a promising start with Bernard Llewellyn and can resume winning ways now back up in trip having done all his best work at the finish when fourth over 5f at Ffos Las last week. C&D winner Stormy Pearl rates a big danger off a handy-looking mark, while fellow C&D scorer The Gay Blade and course specialist Hard Solution must also enter calculations.
