Forecasts

Verdict

LORD OF CHESHIRE settled much better when runner-up over C&D 2 weeks ago and is well up to winning races. Mister Marbles should be a player if shrugging off a disappointing run at Chepstow. Jeremy The Jinn fared well again at Taunton on Tuesday but must be a doubtful runner. Biowavego is a newcomer to note.
