Forecasts

Bhaloo (10/11), Colonel Whizz (6/5), Tommie Gun (11/5), Whisperonthewind (9/2), Schmilsson (7/1), Blow Your Horn (25/1), Total Lockdown (28/1), Stardhem (50/1), Saint Vic (125/1), Warrior's Fate (125/1), Gladys Eva Jane (150/1), Great Warford (150/1), Pearly King (300/1), Clarehill (300/1)

This looks to represent a good opportunity for BHALOO to build on a promising opening run over hurdles at Kempton. Tommie Gun shaped quite well when runner-up in a Newbury bumper last month and is preferred for the forecast spot to Colonel Whizz, who may not be ideally suited by the return to 2m.
