Forecasts

Tone The Barone (4/6), Strong Power (11/4), Marnie James (17/2), Ornate (11/1), Shallow Hal (20/1)

TONE THE BARONE took his form to another level back from a break when scoring at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for him to follow up. Speedy-veteran Ornate showed a bit more spark at Southwell last week so is selected for the forecast.
