Forecasts

Great News (15/8), Ivasecret (11/4), Bowman (16/5), Excel Power (5/1), Flame of Freedom (11/1)

A fairly open race despite the small field. BOWMAN won over C&D earlier in the year and he returned to form at Ayr last time, so he should go very close. Great News disappointed last time but he's still lightly raced and could bounce back this evening. Ivasecret landed a gamble over C&D at the weekend and can't be ruled out under a 6 lb penalty.
