Forecasts

Lord Baddesley (11/8), Light N Strike (10/3), Royaume Uni (9/2), Small Bad Bob (15/2), Solo Saxophone (10/1), Good News (22/1)

None of these can be ruled out but preference is for LORD BADDESLEY who resumed with an excellent second in Chepstow's Silver Trophy and can go one better nudged up only 1 lb. Solo Saxophone is enjoying an excellent run of form and seems sure to be in the picture once more along with the handily-weighted Small Bad Bob.
