Forecasts

Lucky Lodge (11/4), Indian Warrior (13/2), Epeius (8/1), Avenue Of Stars (8/1), Broken Wings (8/1), Kommander Kirkup (9/1), Round The Island (9/1), Danehill Desert (12/1), Nautical Haven (14/1), My Name Is Rio (16/1), Poppy In The Wind (18/1), Ventura Secret (20/1), Gleaming Arch (33/1), First Excel (40/1)

Lucky Lodge and Round The Island arrive in form but fully weighted. Gleaming Arch and Broken Wings have tricky draws to overcome, whilst Ventura Secret needs to improve on his AW form. Poppy In The Wind lurks on a dangerous mark as does Epeius, but this can go to INDIAN WARRIOR who is suited to this C&D and will be all the better for his stable debut last week.
