Forecasts

The Bottom Bar (7/4), Midnight Chill (9/4), Quest For Life (3/1), Ataguiseamix (9/1), Cloone Lady (16/1), Windshear (33/1), Braddan Head (66/1), Balkato Des Bois (100/1)

Verdict

There are several potential improvers here, with Ataguisemix one of those after his wind op, while Cloone Lady and Braddan Head are others who fit that bill. However, THE BOTTOM BAR made a nice enough start in this code at Towcester in December and now stepped up to this trip, he may have more to come than most. Quest For Life would not be winning out of turn, while Midnight Chill has shown a similar level of form and could also have a say.
