Forecasts

Spiritofchartwell (10/11), Tactical Manoeuvre (7/4), Citadel (13/2), Free World (14/1)

Just about as weak a contest as you'll find. Tactical Manoeuvre would probably be happier if this was a hurdles contest as his chase efforts to date have left plenty to be desired. Spiritofchartwell should run his race on a track he's at home on, and Free World might get his own way up front, but if CITADEL has any ability at all then he'll take plenty of beating on his first run for Dan Skelton. He's got a 29% strike rate with other's castoffs first time up and can improve that record again here.
