Forecasts

Blue Rambler (5/2), Beltor (4/1), Unison (5/1), Air Horse One (8/1), Raven's Tower (8/1), Kings Lad (8/1), Mick Thonic (12/1), Master Burbidge (14/1), Big Chief Benny (16/1)

With the likes of Beltor , Unison and Raven's Tower having something to prove as regards this trip, and Air Horse One and Master Burbidge their wellbeing, this may not be as competitive as it first looks. Blue Rambler looks sure to be on the premises if he repeats his latest effort, but a chance is taken that BIG CHIEF BENNY, who dropped a bit of a hint at Kempton last time, can refind some of his best form. He might even have a bit more improvement in him, given how lightly raced for his age he is.
