Forecasts

Celtic Warrior (10/3), Bravo Zulu (10/3), No Surrender (6/1), Up The Jazz (13/2), Lordsbridge Blu (9/1), African Spirit (11/1), Tasmanian Legend (14/1), Liseo (16/1), Johnny Ringo (18/1), Unplugged (22/1), Knockbrex (40/1), Bear Force One (40/1)

LORDSBRIDGE BLU cemented his solid start when opening his account at Wolverhampton last time and he's the type to do better now handicapping, so he gets the vote over Celtic Warrior, who should be back on track away from heavy ground. Up The Jazz should also be involved if the race doesn't come too soon.
