Forecasts

Always Lion (5/4), Born For War (15/8), Elmono (11/2), Just Minded (13/2)

BORN FOR WAR is a tentative choice in a tight knit affair after appearing to turn over a new leaf when winning in good style last time. In the same ownership is top weight Always Lion who is talented but fragile and hasn't run for a very long time. He has won off a lay-off in the past though and is a real danger. Elmono will be thereabouts but may again find one or two too good off his higher mark, while Just Minded is by no means certain to see out the trip if they go a fair gallop.
