Forecasts

Theatre Man (13/8), Brave Kingdom (15/8), Amrons Sage (7/2), Pulling Stumps (10/1), Hector Javilex (18/1)

BRAVE KINGDOM looked a natural chaser when making a successful return at Plumpton last month and, with his jumping likely to prove an asset over these fences, he takes marginal preference over Amrons Sage, who should relish the longer trip. Theatre Man also warrants strong consideration.
