Forecasts

Change Of Fortune (9/4), The Smiling Wolf (5/2), Equion (10/3), Spirit Of The Bay (17/2), Lunarscape (9/1), King of The Dance (22/1), Bloodhound (25/1), Juan Cool Dude (25/1)

EQUION shaped better than the result at Haydock last time and the drop back in trip looks in his favour, so he's the obvious one to side with in a race where most of the others have something to prove. Lunarscape isn't without hope and The Smiling Wolf is on a handy mark if he can bounce back after a break.
