Forecasts

Caryto Des Brosses (5/4), Lift Me Up (7/2), Drop Flight (9/2), From The Heart (10/1), Crosspark (11/1), Zamparelli (12/1), Count Simon (14/1), Wheesht (40/1)

Verdict

LIFT ME UP has won three of his last four outings in points and most of his rivals have questions to answer so he's worth a chance to make a successful start under Rules. Caryto des Brosses arrives on the back of success at Southwell and ranks as an obvious danger, while Drop Flight can't be dismissed.
