Forecasts

Cavalluccio (3/1), Concert Boy (5/1), Shaheen Saqaar (11/2), Liberated Lad (11/2), Blue Yonder (6/1), Fiddlers Green (13/2), Eljaytee (9/1), Fiftyshadesofred (18/1), Firm Handshake (33/1), United Force (200/1)

CAVALLUCCIO caught the eye on his second start back from a break when third at Wolverhampton and looks ready to strike off his current mark. Liberated Lad is another to consider after his strong-finishing third at Newcastle 9 days ago, with Eljaytee best of the others.
