Forecasts

Grandma Tilly (5/4), Lope De Loop (15/8), Felstead Knight (5/2), Give Em A Clump (3/1), Grand Acclaim (7/2), Diamond Express (5/1), Counterfeit (12/1), Swiss Psalm (33/1)

The money which came for Grandma Tilly at Bath two days ago suggests she could be ahead of the handicapper, but this may come a bit too soon and preference is for the battle-hardened GIVE EM A CLUMP, who has run well on his last two starts following a break and is refitted with blinkers. Grand Acclaim can step up on his fourth at Bath, while the selection's stable companion, Lope De Loop, has possibilities in first-time cheekpieces.
