Forecasts

Ventura Secret (2/1), Whitkirk (7/2), Dandyleekie (4/1), Totally Magic (9/2), Arithmetic (6/1), Trinity Star (6/1), Bit Of A Quirke (7/1), Rockliffe (8/1), Sooqaan (17/2), Buccaneers Cove (10/1), Thornaby Nash (14/1), Bertha Burnett (25/1), Zone In (33/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the first division of this handicap. Those at the foot of the handicap make little appeal, but Ventura Secret could still have a little juice in his handicap mark back over a mile. He could go close, but BIT OF A QUIRKE gets a narrow vote given his solid form this season and fair record at the track. The drop in trip should not be a problem and he can hold off respected top weight Whitkirk and steady campaigner Trinity Star.
  1. Bit Of A Quirke
  2. Whitkirk
  3. Trinity Star
