Forecasts

Blueaway (15/8), Life After Love (10/3), Sands of Seve (5/1), He Bangs The Drums (5/1), Mythical Night (6/1), Calabrian Soldato (16/1), Rai Rogers (40/1)

Verdict

HE BANGS THE DRUMS is yet to win but returned to form when second at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, shaping better than the bare result having been keen in front. Back down in trip, he can go one better. Mythical Night is best not judged too harshly on her Southwell run where she was short of room, and can go well back down in trip, while Blueaway looks a potential improver on handicap bow.
