Forecasts

Blue To Blue (5/2), Assaranca (9/2), Resalah (7/1), Land Of Liberty (15/2), Bosom Pals (11/1), Darkest Red (12/1), Black Endeavour (14/1), Pepper Fizz (14/1), Creciente (14/1), Dark Mandate (16/1), Madman (20/1), Zipwire (25/1)

An open-looking nursery to start proceedings. PEPPER FIZZ leaves the impression this step up to 7f for nursery debut could bring about improvement so she's the suggestion. Bosom Pals and Black Endeavour are respected as last-time-out winners, while Land of Liberty and Creciente are others who appeal as potential improvers now handicapping.
