Forecasts

Letsbefrank (4/7), Godsend (7/4), Tenerife Sunshine (4/1), The Grand Visir (4/1), Knights Affair (15/2), Golden Flame (25/1), Tessy Lad (33/1)

This can go to LETSBEFRANK, who has improved with each start since sent handicapping and should benefit from this longer trip. The reapplication of headgear looks a good move for Godsend and he is feared most, whilst the consistent Knights Affair is also respected.
