Forecasts

Blue Rc (5/4), Two Tempting (10/3), Crown Board (5/1), Serengeti (7/1), Popmaster (9/1), New Image (18/1), Bravais (25/1)

BLUE RC was unable to complete the hat-trick when second at Kempton last time but it was still another step forward and this lightly-raced 3-y-o remains of interest. Two Tempting looked better than ever when scoring at Kempton 3 weeks ago and rates the main threat ahead of Serengeti, who made a positive start for this yard when second at Wolverhampton 16 days ago.
