Forecasts

Zoulu Warrior (9/4), Water Of Leith (3/1), Brave Empire (6/1), Phoenix Of Dreams (8/1), Amerjeet (9/1), Addarella (12/1), Brian The Snail (14/1), Early Release (16/1), Lucky Man (22/1), Wodao (25/1)

WATER OF LEITH was a major eye-catcher when fourth in the 11-runner C&D handicap won by the Zoulu Warrior during the Christmas period, his claimer subjecting him to tender handling and picking up a 10-day suspension as a consequence. The 8-y-o enjoys a 4 lb pull with Zoulu Warrior, who is bidding for the hat-trick, having finished 2 lengths behind the winner and it could be a different outcome this time. Early Release was only ninth in that race but is capable of better and should have a say.
