Forecasts

Bowerman (5/2), Ancient Spirit (10/3), Raise You (4/1), Georgeville (11/2), Broad Street (11/1), Flight Risk (18/1), Inhale (25/1), Crotchet (25/1), Desert Wind (25/1), Could Be King (33/1), Freescape (50/1), Nebo (125/1), Beauchamp Bagenal (200/1)

Both Ancient Spirit and FLIGHT RISK have to concede weight to the remainder of the field but the chance is taken on the latter who has a good record fresh and enjoyed a fine season last year. Bowerman and Broad Street are closely matched on their C&D handicap form from earlier in the month and they might be able to take this step up in class in their stride.
