Forecasts

Bounty Pursuit (7/4), Tidal's Baby (5/2), Freddy With A Y (4/1), Magic Mirror (7/1), Quintus Cerialis (7/1), Star Of The Stage (10/1), Qortaaj (12/1), Hipz (14/1), Keene's Pointe (16/1), Caledonian Gold (20/1), Mime Dance (25/1), Captain Joe (25/1), Royal Rettie (66/1), Secret Look (66/1)

A few of these carry doubts of one sort or another. The most straightforward option is TIDAL"S BABY who has posted two solid efforts over 6f. His last victory came almost four years ago but, having now returned to that winning trainer, he looks ready to resume winning ways. Quintus Cerialis has recently shown positive signs of retaining some of the ability that saw him romp home by a wide margin two seasons ago. He rates as a danger as does Mick Appleby's dual winner Bounty Pursuit if jumping off on terms.
