Forecasts

Blue Wood (7/2), I'm Spartacus (13/2), Blanc De Noir (15/2), Gegenpressing (9/1), Land Lover (9/1), Hero Of The Hour (10/1), Clarinbridge (14/1), Spirit Of Eagles (14/1), Iva Batt (14/1), Theriverrunsdeep (16/1), Coolcalmncollected (18/1), Amanirenas (20/1), Jazzy Dancer (22/1), Devil's Angel (25/1), Jackie Brown (25/1), Charming Lady (28/1), Elliott (33/1), Tai Sing Yeh (33/1)

A chance is taken on BLANC DE NOIR, who hasn't threated of late but he's plummeted down the weights (now 13 lb below the mark off which he was a close fifth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh in June) and this drop back in trip looks a good move. I'm Spartacus was starting to knock on the door prior to a low-key effort tried in a visor last time (headgear swiftly dispensed with) and he is second choice ahead of Hero of The Hour and Jazzy Dancer.
