Forecasts

File Illico (5/4), Getaway Luv (6/4), Siroco Jo (3/1), Shortcross Storm (7/2), Balkardy (6/1)

GETAWAY LUV got off to the perfect start for his new yard when an emphatic scorer at Stratford and can make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights. File Illico is feared most in his bid to garner a fourth success of the season, while Balkardy can't be ruled out either if, as expected, building on his chasing debut third at Taunton.
