Forecasts

Back In Black (8/13), Wiltshire Lad (7/2), Caledonian (11/2), Yankee Dude (20/1), Iffraaj Power (20/1), Blue Train (25/1), Noble Guest (66/1), We're Done (80/1), Duffus Castle (100/1), Charming Fellow (125/1)

James Fanshawe's Dark Angel colt BACK IN BLACK possesses much the best form on show and rates a confident choice to build on his recent Ascot second and get off the mark. Both Wiltshire Lad and Caledonian have better days ahead of them and can chase home the selection in that order. Blue Train makes most appeal of the four newcomers.
