Forecasts

Black Poppy (6/4), Lord Baddesley (9/4), Glory And Honour (6/1), Wild Max (15/2), Straw Fan Jack (11/1), Tap Tap Boom (20/1)

BLACK POPPY justified strong support to prove his opening mark lenient at Hereford 33 days ago, showing a really likeable attitude in the process having been headed briefly on the run-in. With further improvement a distinct possibility, Kerry Lee's charge is fancied to follow up. Lord Baddesley is put forward as the main threat after his fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago, ahead of Wild Max.
