Forecasts
Greenwich (7/4), Beylerbeyi (7/2), Fitz Perfectly (6/1), Van Zant (15/2), Bobby Joe Leg (9/1), Comedian Leader (12/1), Sparkling Spirit (16/1), Martin's Brig (16/1), Conri (18/1), Dandys Gold (28/1), Marie's Jewel (50/1), Abnaa (66/1)
SPARKLING SPIRIT shaped well in blinkers at Kempton last time and could be the way to go if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Van Zant was only nudged up 1 lb for his recent Wolverhampton success so should be very competitive again. Greenwich is an interesting handicap newcomer for shrewd connections.
