Forecasts

Dickieburd (10/11), Love Wars (4/1), Ecclesiastical (11/2), Catch Cunningham (6/1), Count D'Orsay (11/1), Grace Angel (12/1), King Of Tonga (14/1), Apache Star (14/1), The Defiant (20/1), Kitaab (25/1)

The only 3-y-o in the line-up LOVE WARS stepped up markedly on her comeback run and may well have made a winning handicap debut with a clearer run through at Haydock 21 days ago. Easily the least exposed, she's very much of interest and gets the vote to confirm the promise of that effort and come out on top. Dickieburd, if taking up this engagement, and Catch Cunningham are others to consider. The Defiant would also be dangerous if allowed his own way on the front end.
