Forecasts

John Betjeman (11/10), Pounding Poet (7/2), George Of Hearts (9/2), Troed Y Parc (5/1), Etoile Rebelle (7/1), Pol Crocan (8/1), Baignard (9/1), Armed (14/1), Kerry's Boy (40/1), Across The Park (40/1), Wise Garden (50/1), Toad Of Toad Hall (80/1)

Lots of these have question marks against them so this looks an excellent opportunuty for form-pick JOHN BETJEMAN to open his account after he returned with a creditable sixth at Lingfield. Baignard could be the one to chase him home if building on his Taunton seventh, with newcomer George of Hearts considered too given his fair winning form on the level.
