Forecasts

Thumb Stone Blues (6/4), Sam Red (13/8), Bagad Bihoue (5/2), The Society Man (200/1)

A tricky little contest that may revolve around how much RED SAM is progressing just now. The gelding stayed on in a pleasing manner to win at Stratford at the start of this month and this quick return to action looks a very positive move to strike whilst victory is still a fresh memory. Bagad Bihoue is an obvious danger and may well have been found a decent opportunity to get his chasing career back on track. The betting will be informative where he is concerned. Thumb Stone Blues is going the right way and could be worth a speculative punt, but does need his main rivals to under perform a tad.
