Forecasts

Gold Club (4/1), Fleckerl (9/2), Artscape (9/2), Fredricka (5/1), Higher Court (5/1), Fujin (6/1), Chetan (8/1), Bertie Blu Boy (8/1), Himalayan Queen (16/1), Colourbearer (16/1)

Verdict

Competitive stuff but any value may lie with FLECKERL who is thrown in at the weights on old form and who hinted that a return to winning ways was imminent when chasing home well-handicapped, subsequent scorer Athassel at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Artscape looks feasibly-treated for his handicap debut but will probably have to be played late and, as a consequence, will need things to drop right. Bertie Blu Boy and Higher Court look most interesting of the remainder.
