Forecasts

Diol Ker (6/4), Tower Bridge (2/1), Clondaw Secret (10/3), Born By The Sea (10/1), Madison To Monroe (25/1)

This can go to TOWER BRIDGE, a Grade 1 winner as a novice, who very much caught the eye under a considerate ride on his return at Market Rasen last month. Clondaw Secret and Diol Ker are the obvious threats.
