Forecasts

Borice (30/100), Bialco (4/1), Lake Baikal (14/1), Island Mahee (40/1), Forresters Park (66/1)

BORICE is a confident choice getting weight from his main rival Bialco who is rated 13lb inferior on official figures. Won as he pleased at Uttoxeter and can follow up here. Bialco is the one who should benefit if the selection fails to run his race. He's a decent horse but the weights do him no favours. Lake Baikal is a reasonable prospect and it would not surprise to see him build on his promising initial effort.
