Forecasts

John Betjeman (7/4), Sambezi (85/40), Western General (11/4), Rewired (7/2), Universal Secret (11/2), Flamenco De Kerser (28/1)

Verdict

SAMBEZI had plenty in hand when doubling his tally over timber at Fontwell earlier this month and, faced with a similar small-field scenario, Oliver Signy's charge should prove tough to peg back. He can get the better of Western General, who pulled clear with another unexposed sort at Taunton a fortnight ago (winner that day has won again since). Rewired can take third spot.
