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)

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.
