Forecasts

Venetian Sun (7/4), Division (15/8), Coppull (4/1), Spicy Marg (9/2), Brussels (11/1), Rock On Thunder (12/1), Five Ways (22/1), Aqpan (50/1)

DIVISION can resume winning ways after showing improved form when third in a Group 3 at Ascot 22 days ago, looking unlucky after blowing the start and he should prove up to reversing that form with Coppull. Venetian Sun drops back to 6f having struggled at 7f+ and could well prove his biggest danger.
