Forecasts

Red Cadillac (3/1), Noble Affair (10/3), Les's Legacy (9/2), Final Edgar (13/2), Romeo Brown (8/1), Knomorediamonds (8/1), Always A Reason (11/1), Benito (12/1), Blakey Boy (18/1), Cage Rattler (22/1), Shadows In The Sky (33/1)

The vote goes to CAGE RATTLER, who took a sizeable step forward when third upped to 20.3f on his handicap debut in this sphere at Newcastle and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Red Cadillac appears to be gradually progressing with experience and is feared on the back of his solid Uttoxeter second last time, while Final Edgar, Knomorediamonds and Les's Legacy all need considering having slipped to dangerous marks.
