Forecasts

Sharp Response (7/4), Greyed A (11/4), Little Bruce (5/1), Same Circus (11/2), Vieux Lille (7/1), Western Jo (20/1)

Same Circus and Sharp Response both seem to go well here and deserve respect, but the quick ground may be a worry for Same Circus. Western Jo is another that might be happier with softer underfoot conditions, so a chance is taken that LITTLE BRUCE's stamina holds out as he could have these in trouble with a bold front-running display. Vieux Lille seems to be regressive but Jamie Snowden's record here with his rare visitors cannot be ignored.
