Forecasts

Mick's Spirit (2/1), Bluebells Boy (3/1), Insuspense (4/1), Son Of Astar (9/2), Buraback (6/1), Fancy Dancer (8/1), Shalaa Asker (17/2), Big Bard (33/1)

BLUEBELLS BOY has returned to form for his new yard the last twice and will prove hard to peg back here if again breaking sharply, as he did when nailed in the dying strides at Lingfield recently. Shalaa Asker has also been knocking on the door and is likely to offer stern resistance, while Mick's Spirit also merits respect.
