Forecasts

Doves Of Peace (11/10), War Zone (9/2), Battleofbaltimore (5/1), Poetic Jack (17/2), Bishop's Glory (9/1), Hombre (11/1), Pickled Pepper (20/1), Eadha (66/1)

DOVES OF PEACE got the better of War Zone over C&D last time and is actually 1 lb better off at the weights this time, so he's fancied to uphold that form in a race that the pair may well dominate once more. Battleofbaltimore is the pick of the remainder.
