Forecasts

Flowers On Venus (8/13), Fairway To Heaven (5/2), Burning Thread (12/1), Bush Warrior (18/1), Head Space (20/1), Silver Springs (20/1)

FLOWERS ON VENUS will be hard to beat and he won a claimer over a furlong further last time. The rest of the field will have to see him underperform to get involved and Fairway To Heaven looks like his main rival despite being slow from the gate often. Burning Thread concedes weight all round but has been in good form at least of late.
