Forecasts

Golden Birthday (2/1), Fire Fighting (4/1), Lawless Secret (4/1), Royal Reserve (5/1), Fearsome (6/1), Ay Ay (6/1), Noble Gift (7/1)

A solid case can be made for most in this and Fire Fighting has finally been handicapped closer to his current level of form. That makes him one to fear along with Golden Birthday whose winning efforts have been devalued by those he has beaten, but who nevertheless has won his races with something to spare. Ay Ay is unproven at the trip but goes well here and for today's rider. Lawless Secret and Royal Reserve are usually thereabouts, but Fearsome may have too much to find. NOBLE GIFT is on an attractive mark and has been known to come to hand early. Jim Crowley gets on well with him and he is back on a competitive mark.
