Forecasts

Take Centre Stage (11/10), Chase A Fortune (9/4), Heritier (6/1), Trac (15/2), Iwa (12/1)

Verdict

CHASE A FORTUNE is built for chasing so it was no surprise that he justified market confidence first time up over fences at Catterick last month. Open to further improvement, he can defy a 5 lb rise. Take Centre Stage is not straightforward no doubt, but he did score easily over C&D under similar conditions 2 starts back so may emerge as the main threat.
