Forecasts

Sending Love (8/11), Morfee (2/1), Ozzie Man (4/1), Forthegreatergood (13/2), Iron In The Soul (100/1)

Paul Nicholls has captured this prize in three of its last four runnings, so his fairly useful scorer SENDING LOVE is taken to shrug aside a modest showing at Southwell and get back to winning ways. Morfee has a fair bit to find on form but is not ruled out lightly with this step up in trip sure to suit, while Ozzie Man appeals as the clear pick of the remainder.
