Forecasts

Romulus Du Donjon (7/2), Always Tipsy (4/1), Robintheaulad (4/1), Free Range (9/2), Bocasien Desbois (15/2), Black Jack Rover (8/1), Cherif De L'Isle (8/1), Royal Mandate (9/1)

A fairly tight looking affair with the returning Black Jack Rover hopefully able to kick on over fences for Donald McCain and record a solid string of races under his belt. A few of these horses should appreciate the quicker underfoot conditions including the solid, but handicapper known, Romulus Du Donjon, and the first time visored chasing debutante Royal Mandate. However, the Market Rasen winner BOCASIEN DESBOIS is another who falls into that category, and whilst that form might not amount to all that much in terms of depth, he should be thereabouts at least off a 6lb higher mark.
