Forecasts

Stand Up And Fight (7/4), Caid Du Berlais (3/1), Burning Ambition (4/1), Ucello Conti (5/1), Fenno's Storm (10/1), It Came To Pass (12/1), Balnaslow (33/1), Macs Legend (50/1), Salsify (66/1)

Burning Ambition is capable enough, but finds this trip stretching his stamina, so the finish may be fought out by Fenno's Storm, Ucello Conti and STAND UP AND FIGHT. The selection has a bit to find with his rivals, but is open to plenty of improvement and will lack nothing from the saddle. It Came To Pass looks the best of the rest.
