Forecasts

Cool Breeze (7/4), Ambitious Icarus (9/2), Nuala Tagula (6/1), Luv U Always (13/2), Camanche Grey (10/1), Jorvik Prince (12/1), Mighty Bond (16/1), Mercers Row (16/1), Poet's Time (20/1), Three C's (20/1), A J Cook (25/1), Roman Times (33/1), Nefetari (50/1)

A fast early pace will suit the late finisher AMBITIOUS ICARUS, and the likes of Nuala Tagula and Jorvik Prince are likely to provide fierce early competition for the lead. The selection is a C&D winner who is on an attractive mark, and we know that he is in relatively good order after a decent showing at Yarmouth on Thursday (6f). He is likely to have most to fear from the progressive Yarmouth winner Cool Breeze. Her career has taken an upward turn since dropped to 5f, and is consequently much respected with Jamie Spencer booked to ride.
