Forecasts

Get Ready Freddy (6/4), Viking Mistress (7/2), Cry Fury (7/1), Blackfire (10/1), Keppel Isle (10/1), Deise Vu (14/1), Court In Session (14/1), Sylvan Legend (20/1), Nearest The Pin (20/1), Spock (33/1), Heurtevent (33/1), The Absent Mare (66/1)

This is a weak-looking affair. Get Ready Freddy will be at the top of most people's lists, as Dan Skelton has improved far worse horses than he is to in at the first attempt but the yard did suffer a few reversals here last week, and he will be little in the way of value. Instead, a speculative punt on BLACKFIRE might be in order, as he ran a bit better than his finishing position suggested at Stratford last time and this drop back to the minimum trip could be beneficial, especially with a solid pace from Spock and Deise Vu assured. Cry Fury is another that finds wining hard but could pick up some place money again.
