Forecasts

Rocket Warrior (10/3), No Surrender (10/3), War Chant (7/2), Knockbrex (11/2), Tribal Wisdom (7/1), Imitate (17/2), L'Ennemi (25/1), Educate (40/1)

IMITATE took a positive step forward when third at Wolverhampton last time and promises to be well suited by this extra distance, so she gets the nod over Tribal Wisdom, who did well to get up from an unpromising position at the same course recently. No Surrender is another definite player.
