Forecasts

Brown Bullet (11/4), Downsman (11/4), Good Time Ahead (7/2), Martin Spirit (7/1), Executive Pool (15/2), Pump It Up (17/2), Yesnosorry (11/1), Shirocco's Delight (22/1)

Though he's failed to shine in a trio of starts over hurdles so far, dual Flat winner DOWNSMAN appears to have been brought along with handicaps in mind. He is now pitched into one off what looks a feasible opening mark and improvement should be forthcoming with the headgear back on. Good Time Ahead returned to form with a bang at Lingfield last time and is feared most ahead of Brown Bullet and Executive Pool.
