Forecasts
Kondratiev Wave (15/8), Secret Road (3/1), Strobelight (13/2), Last Outlaw (8/1), Global Warning (10/1), Diligent Henry (10/1), Up The Monk (12/1), Campani (18/1), Tootsie (40/1), Fidget Lady (40/1), Blueandtangerine (50/1)
SECRET ROAD is thriving for James Owen (won classified stakes at Lingfield on Saturday) and may well land the hat-trick back in a handicap, if turned out quickly under a penalty. Global Warning is feared off a handy mark, having shaped well on reappearance, while Strobelight should be in the mix if headgear has the same effect second time up.
