Forecasts

Cancan In The Rain (10/3), Bluelight Bay (4/1), Charencey (5/1), State Flag (6/1), Vince Lombardi (13/2), Vibrato (15/2), Infinity Blue (15/2), Mart (9/1), Holy Fire (16/1), Sedgemoor (16/1), Eden Storm (66/1), Sceptic (200/1)

BLUELIGHT BAY returned to form when third at Kempton last time, finishing well having been caught further back than ideal, and he can resume winning ways if stall 12 doesn't prove too troublesome. Vince Lombardi made an encouraging start for his new yard in the same race, finishing a place in front of the poorly-positioned selection, and he can figure if building on that. State Flag is another to note.
