Forecasts

Bashful (10/3), Ip Up (9/2), Scots Poet (9/2), Socialist Agenda (5/1), Lihyan (13/2), Cuban Cigar (17/2), The Churchill Lad (14/1), Bix Beiderbecke (18/1), Darkest Day (33/1)

Verdict

BASHFUL has been an improved performer on the Flat this year, suggesting he could be on a good mark back hurdling from a mark in the mid-90s. Ip Up is an obvious danger on the back of last week's comfortable Fakenham success, while Perth novice winner Bix Beiderbecke is a potential improver in handicaps.
