Forecasts

Soi Dao (7/2), Redredrobin (5/1), Flying Secret (5/1), Porterinthejungle (13/2), Gilt Edge (8/1), Fact Or Fable (8/1), Dynamite Katie (9/1), Iconic Knight (14/1), Raqraaq (18/1), Beaming Light (28/1)

FLYING SECRET pulled too hard in first-time blinkers at Bath 2 weeks ago and is worth another chance to build on his Newbury run with less severe headgear back on. Soi Dao is in better form than recent figures suggest and is back on a winning mark, with Gilt Edge and Porterinthejungle others to consider.
