Forecasts

Cockney Wren (8/15), Cliff Face (7/2), State Sovereignty (7/1), Blackdown Hills (14/1), Endless River (16/1), Better News (20/1), No No Juliet (25/1), Audora (25/1), Spirit Of Mendip (50/1), Passing Dream (66/1), Oborne Lady (66/1), Let's Sway (200/1)

Verdict

Some of these are likely to do better now they encounter quicker ground for the first time but it does look another golden opportunity for COCKNEY WREN to get another win on the board. Her form is in a different league to these and it will be a surprise if she is beaten. Blackdown Hills shwed her best bumper form on quicker ground and could be good enough for second, with State Sovereignty and Better News the others to consider for the places.
  1. Cockney Wren
  2. Blackdown Hills
  3. State Sovereignty
