Forecasts

The Young Master (15/8), Smooth Stepper (2/1), Baywing (3/1), Gold Opera (12/1), Silver Tassie (16/1), Firth Of The Clyde (22/1)

THE YOUNG MASTER has fallen to an attactive rating and connections might well have found him the ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. This more galloping track than at Kempton latest will also suit. Baywing is aonther returning to a fair mark and despite top weight coannot be ruled out, and Smooth Stepper is another to consider as he continues to hold his form well. The other three contenders all have a point to prove at present.
