Forecasts

Rembrandt (7/2), Thorntoun Care (6/1), Cold Fusion (13/2), Just Fred (7/1), Lineman (15/2), Senor George (8/1), Steady Major (17/2), Thou Swell (10/1), Cool Music (12/1), Haaffa Sovereign (14/1), Fire In Babylon (20/1), Lady Rocka (28/1)

Verdict

There isn't much recent winning form in this field at all, but Thou Swell should be able to get involved on the back of some eye-catching recent performances at Southwell, if able to make the switch to Tapeta. FIRE IN BABYLON, though, makes more appeal as a C&D winner who has sunk to a very low mark after some poor recent runs. Perhaps a return to this course, which we know he likes, can bring about the necessary improvement. Just Fred, who also goes on this surface, could be third best.
  1. Fire In Babylon
  2. Thou Swell
  3. Just Fred
