Forecasts

Victorious One (10/3), Hey Tru Blue (9/2), American Gulf (11/2), Sir Albert (6/1), Amazing Journey (13/2), Goldwork (12/1), Spinning Lizzie (14/1), Steel Drum (14/1), Champion Island (16/1), Gascony (16/1), Sovereign Bright (33/1)

Plenty of pace on paper and that should suit the progressive AMAZING JOURNEY who came home to good effect when winning over this trip on nursery debut at York earlier this month. He may land the hat-trick at the expense of Hey Tru Blue who should improve for the step up to 7f on handicap debut. Of the rest, Sir Albert beat two of today's rivals when an impressive winner on handicap debut at Chester and should go well again, while American Gulf drops markedly in class on his nursery bow.
