Forecasts

Intercessor (16/5), Wots The Wifi Code (7/2), Eligible (9/2), All Things Bright (5/1), Little Ted (7/1), Bit Of A Quirke (11/1), Billy Roberts (14/1), Cote d'Azur (16/1)

ALL THINGS BRIGHT won a seller/claimer when last seen in the autumn and is potentially on a handy mark on the pick of his Irish form back in a handicap, so could be worth chancing. Intercessor pulled clear of the rest when an excellent second at Haydock 2 weeks ago so is an obvious threat, with the in-form Wots The Wifi Code another to consider.
