Forecasts

Sugar Candie (5/2), John Betjeman (4/1), Big Jimbo (13/2), Winklevi (7/1), Fred Bear (9/1), Fighting Poet (9/1), Where's Tom (12/1), Jersey Gift (12/1), Pledge Of Peace (20/1), Proud Warrior (40/1)

A case can be made for lots of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SUGAR CANDIE, who had looked on the up until finishng well held at Wolverhampton after an absence and can bounce back in style with Oisin Murphy now up. Fighting Poet didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Southwell last time and could emerge as the chief threat, with Chelmsford-second Winklevi another who needs considering in a very open handicap.
