Forecasts

Cabeza De Llave (11/8), Agostino (10/3), Exceed (6/1), It's Showtime (8/1), Spanish Angel (9/1), Bernard Spierpoint (10/1), Beauzon (11/1), Southbank (28/1), Man On A Mission (28/1), Idle Assembly (33/1), Spiritual Pursuit (80/1)

BERNARD SPIERPOINT can have his latest run overlooked having reared leaving the stalls when trying to get a flyer and gets the nod from a good mark. The in-form Cabeza de Llave is also of interest.
