Forecasts

Ricky Punting (11/4), Too Many Spirits (3/1), Green Sovereign (4/1), Le Grand Etoile (9/2), Arrbob (12/1), Adoramus (12/1), Real Edition (16/1), Mr Minz (20/1), College Boy (22/1), Fasthope (50/1)

TOO MANY SPIRITS left his debut effort behind when finding one too strong here last month and with the way he saw his race out that day, this step up to 6f should be right up his street. He gets the nod over Ricky Punting, who still showed some inexperience at Hamilton last week but is progressing gradually. Of the newcomers, Le Grand Etoile looks the pick before the benefit of market clues.
