Forecasts

Flashman (6/4), Lovely Bubbly (5/2), Lake Chapala (9/2), Cosmic Diamond (6/1), Give Him Time (9/1)

Flashman has the form in the bank and is returning to his favourite venue, so has a bit going for him in that regard, but he's going to have to give weight to two likely improvers in LOVELY BUBBLY and Cosmic Diamond now that they see a fence for the first time. Preference is for Lovely Bubbly, who ran better when third at Exeter last time out and has been found a decent opportunity to score. Cosmic Diamond is another that may do better but the yard are struggling for winners, with just the one this calendar year. Lake Chapala isn't out of it either, despite some poor recent form.
