Forecasts

Ballsgrove Boy (10/3), No Release (7/2), Miakoda (4/1), Take The Boat (5/1), Clipsham Noble (9/1), My Boy Harry (10/1), National Voice (12/1), Magna (14/1), Mystical Elegance (14/1), Lily's Symphony (25/1)

NO RELEASE looked suited by the drop to 7f last time and may finally get off the mark. Ballsgrove Boy is feared most after his positive start for new trainer Martin Dunne at Wolverhampton last week. Take The Boat and Magna also make the shortlist.
