Forecasts

Perfect Gentleman (5/2), Man Made Of Smoke (7/2), Greavsie (9/2), Twilight Kiss (9/2), Little Roman (10/1), Finn Star (14/1), Mother India (18/1), Opportunity Knocks (25/1), Rosette (40/1)

MAN MADE OF SMOKE benefited from a change of tactics when a good Wolverhampton second last time and can go one better now eased 1 lb. Little Roman is feared most on the back of his recent C&D success with in-form pair Opportunity Knocks and Mother India shortlisted too.
