Forecasts

Expressionless (11/4), Hibernate (11/4), Johnny Boom (7/2), Alta Rica (18/5), Serviceman (4/1), Sea Of Charm (9/2), Seraphic (5/1)

EXPRESSIONLESS shaped well over a shorter trip on his recent Doncaster reappearance and is taken to build on that promise now. Sea of Charm arrives on the back of 2 good runs on the all-weather and is second choice ahead of last week's Pontefract runner-up Johnny Boom.
