Forecasts
Soomaroy (6/5), Etna Bianco (3/1), Tiddesley Wood (7/2), Home Made Hero (9/2), Fury Lad (250/1)
Four of the 5 have won a race and have each achieved similar form so far but SOOMAROY is surely open to further progress, particularly over this sort of trip, so he receives the vote. Home Made Hero has been off since falling in the autumn but he's in good hands and looks the chief threat.
