Forecasts

Ghostwatch (15/8), Austrian School (3/1), Christopher Robin (6/1), Berkshire Royal (7/1), Knightly Spirit (7/1), Volevo Lui (12/1), Arthenia (28/1), Metatrons Cube (33/1)

A wide open handicap restricted to three-year-olds and most of the field look capable of improvement but it's AUSTRIAN SCHOOL who makes most appeal after a taking effort at Chelmsford last week. Volevo Lui is another who may be capable of transferring his all-weather form to turf while Ghostwatch may have been given a real chance by the assessor on handicap debut.
