Forecasts

Bravado (13/8), Fleetwood Pier (3/1), Zarina Grande (5/1), His Pride (7/1), Crocodile Power (9/1), Machli (14/1), Annie From Naas (50/1)

Not a deep novice on the face of things, and it's hard to side against Mark Johnston's BRAVADO, who won on debut at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago, despite missing the break. A 4 lb penalty doesn't look too much of a burden, though Richard Fahey fields a couple in opposition, notably newcomer His Pride, who's a half-brother to a couple of 2-y-o sprint winners.
