Forecasts

Luna A Inbhir Nis (2/1), Jer Batt (5/2), Atomic Force (11/2), Sergeant Pep (10/1), Democracy Dilemma (12/1), Blue Storm (14/1), Loom (18/1), Baldomero (18/1), Alaskan Gold (20/1), Reigning Profit (33/1)

This is likely to be fast and furious and JER BATT, who went close in this race 12 months ago, is taken to deliver a telling late blow. The 5-y-o is on a good mark and his latest effort at Yarmouth was solid. If ready to roll on this belated seasonal reappearance Blue Storm could also play a part in the finish, while Luna A Inbhir Nis is enjoying a tremendous campaign and, on the back of a cracking effort in a valuable York handicap, she looks set for another leading role.
