Forecasts

Doktor Glaz (7/2), Blakerigg (5/1), Dalkadam (5/1), Thomas Blossom (5/1), Presenting Berkley (11/2), Red Tortue (13/2), Lickpenny Larry (8/1), Glimpse Of Gold (16/1), Spiritual Man (16/1), Grow Nasa Grow (28/1)

Verdict

Very moderate stuff here and a race to treat with caution. DOKTOR GLAZ is far from being bombproof, but he has a more solid profile than most in this field and therefore gets the vote. Presenting Berkley is bred to do better over fences, so if he is fit first time back from a break he looks an interesting proposition, while a market check looks prudent for Thomas Blossom after his wind op. Blakerigg is another who is not ruled out.
