Forecasts

Jet Warrior (1/1), Tickets (7/2), Hurstwood (5/1), Golden Prosperity (7/1), Tarlac (11/1), Night Emperor (14/1), Barmyblade (16/1), Solar Biricz (20/1), Ridgemaster (25/1), Angel Of England (28/1)

JET WARRIOR confirmed previous promise for his new yard when running out a convincing winner over this trip at Ayr last week and, 5 lb well in under his penalty, he ought to prove tough to beat again partnered by Clifford Lee. Last year's winner Hurstwood and Southwell eyecatcher Tickets head up the dangers.
