Forecasts

Brains (7/2), Captain Claret (7/2), Fitzrovia (9/2), Spirit Warning (9/2), Never Said Nothing (11/2), Sir Plato (6/1), Regulator (7/1), Canal Rocks (20/1), Lilandra (50/1), Luscifer (80/1)

SPIRIT WARNING was last off the bridle when fourth behind a couple of subsequent winners over this C&D 6 weeks ago and could be ready to strike. Regulator still shaped as if in top form at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and needs considering, while Fitzrovia can't be dismissed off his current mark.
