Forecasts

Skye Breeze (8/11), Blindedbythelights (2/1), Bringbackmemories (2/1), La Pulga (6/1), No Recollection (25/1)

Verdict

BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS predictably improved switched to handicaps over middle-distances last season and, with scope for further progress as a 4-y-o, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Skye Breeze came up short when bidding for the hat-trick at Southwell but he wasn't disgraced all the same and is feared most ahead of Bringbackmemories.
