Forecasts

Free Your Spirit (5/6), Okiru (7/2), Je Suis Celebre (6/1), Adalida (6/1), Blue Moon Warrior (10/1), Sands End (25/1), Our Guy (28/1), Soviet Symphony (40/1), Nicolai (125/1)

FREE YOUR SPIRIT proved a different proposition entirely to win at Wolverhampton just 5 days on from getting turned over at very short odds on debut and looks capable of defying a penalty with further progress likely. Okiru chased the selection home that day and can do so again. Adalida has a shot if leaving behind her low-key start for this yard.
