Forecasts

Absolutely Awesome (5/2), Show Palace (4/1), Saved My Bacon (9/2), Classic Pursuit (9/2), Pearl Acclaim (10/1), Corridor Kid (10/1), Vale Of Flight (14/1), Borough Boy (16/1), Roy's Legacy (20/1), Percy Toplis (33/1)

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME remains unexposed having had just the five starts so far and he can follow up his winning debut for this stable at Wolverhampton by taking this competitive sprint. Of the selections rivals today Saved My Bacon won here in April and can claim second ahead of Classic Pursuit who has been in good form in recent starts.
