Forecasts

Arctic Flower (15/8), Masarzain (11/4), King Of Swing (3/1), Emily Goldfinch (4/1), Almanack (10/1), Black Dave (10/1), Welsh Inlet (14/1), Rattle On (16/1), Bushwise (18/1), Kristoff (20/1)

Verdict

If Almanack was in the same form as shown on his penultimate start, he would be hard to beat. He is sure to give a good account in this opening contest, while the hat-trick seeking Arctic Flower is a must for any short list in her current rich vein of form. Masarzain runs for a new stable today and is capable of a big run but the selection goes to EMILY GOLDFINCH. She made all when landing a 15-runner handicap here recently and was short-headed by Whispered Kiss at Newmarket last time out.
  1. Emily Goldfinch
  2. Arctic Flower
  3. Almanack
