Forecasts

Haymaker (7/2), Blind Beggar (5/1), Bang On The Bell (5/1), Crimson Sand (6/1), Moulin Booj (7/1), Regal Envoy (8/1), Pure Angel (9/1), Michaela's Boy (14/1), Due For Luck (22/1), Blazes Boylan (33/1)

BANG ON THE BELL has been in good form on turf lately and returns to AW on a feasible mark, so he's preferred to Blind Beggar, who arrives on the back of a solid showing at Nottingham. Regal Envoy is another one to consider.
