Forecasts

Barrakhov (11/2), Warriors Story (6/1), Smokey The Bandit (13/2), Economic Editor (7/1), Rumble B (9/1), Lockdown Leader (10/1), The Resdev Way (11/1), Northern Falcon (12/1), Brandy Mcqueen (12/1), En Couleur (14/1), Keep The Faith (18/1), Court At Slip (25/1), Petite Rhapsody (25/1), Johnson's Blue (25/1), Fightfortheroses (28/1), Post Chaise (33/1)

Verdict

ECONOMIC EDITOR left his previous efforts well behind when a close second at Wetherby last month and a reproduction of that performance may be good enough to see him go one better here. Petite Rhapsody is worth another chance having been left with too much to do at Ayr last time, while Warriors Story is a potential improver now going handicapping following a breathing operation.

  2. PETITE RHAPSODY (IRE)
