Forecasts

Baden (4/1), Tintern Theatre (5/1), Red Infantry (5/1), Winter Lion (8/1), Tanarpino (8/1), Sam Red (8/1), Pure Vision (12/1), Ozzy Thomas (12/1), Nightline (14/1), Definitly Grey (20/1), Kelvingrove (25/1)

This can go to BADEN, who has only been put up 3lb for a nice victory at Sandown last time out and if he can prove he acts at this course should go very close. Nico De Boinville retakes the ride and he can continue with the progression he has shown so far this campaign. Other of interest include Ozzy Thomas, who looks on a very workable mark on recent evidence, and Sam Red, who could do with improving on his jumping but could be on a potentially lenient mark if managing that.
