Forecasts

Thats My Boy Luke (7/2), Bowood (7/2), Jesmond Dawn (18/5), Clear Angel (6/1), Pisanello (13/2), Dumfries (11/1), Travis (12/1), Mrbluesky (14/1)

JESMOND DAWN could do with starting better than on his last 2 outings but he's too well handicapped to ignore at a venue which has brought out the best of him in the past. Dumfries looked to have a bit up his sleeve at Beverley last time and is second choice ahead of Clear Angel. Pisanello is down to a mark he really should be making an impact from and it's possible the refitting of a visor might spark him.
