Forecasts

Tides Of War (7/4), Believitanducan (7/4), Percy Shelley (5/2), Mr Hampstead (3/1), Aggagio (8/1), Judgementofsolomon (11/1), The Craftymaster (22/1)

This can go to BELIEVITANDUCAN, who was clear of the rest when runner-up at Kempton last month and remains fairly treated. Lingfield winner Tides of War is feared most, whilst Mr Hampstead can also make his presence felt.
