Forecasts

Glamorous Force (18/5), Finvarra (5/1), Aquadabra (11/2), Valentine Blues (13/2), Aguerooo (15/2), Blue Venture (11/1), Top Boy (12/1), The Night Watch (14/1), Alioski (14/1), Our Man In Havana (16/1), Rhubarb (16/1), Red Allure (20/1), The Lacemaker (22/1), Captain Ryan (28/1), Oh So Nice (33/1), Ghepardo (50/1)

GLAMOROUS FORCE did well to finish second from an unpromising position at Brighton on Tuesday, and though his propensity to miss the break is a concern, he's up to winning a race in this grade. Captain Ryan is more consistent than most at this level, with Aquadabra another to consider.
