Forecasts

Botanical (4/7), Crack Shot (5/2), Unlimited (3/1), Clash Of The Ash (50/1), Metric (80/1), Bowood (100/1), Time To Spark (125/1), Be Rural (150/1), Big Hamish (150/1), Doon The Glen (200/1), Holdemfoldem (250/1)

This can go to BOTANICAL, who was doing his best work at the finish on debut at Kempton last month and will have learnt plenty from that experience. Crack Shot looks the obvious danger on the back of his Nottingham victory, whilst Unlimited can also make his presence felt.
