Forecasts

Ferrous (13/8), Germanic (7/2), Willem Twee (11/1), Strike Red (11/1), Fivethousandtoone (11/1), Telemark (12/1), Sergeant Wilko (14/1), City House (16/1), Badri (16/1), Korker (20/1), The Caltonian (20/1), Westmorian (25/1), Aleezdancer (33/1), Bosh (40/1)

A competitive sprint to conclude and with that in mind a chance is taken on bottom weight BADRI. He quickly dispelled a lesser effort and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth in a Southwell handicap 2 weeks ago and he's clearly lurking on a competitive mark. Ferrous has returned as good as ever and he's a big threat in his bid to land the hat-trick. Korker, who is unexposed on synthetics, and Germanic are another couple to note.
