Forecasts

Inscribe (3/1), Rickrack (10/3), Escamillo (10/1), Winston Wolfe (11/1), Giorni Felice (12/1), Spruce Meadows (14/1), Pando (14/1), Bigger And Better (14/1), Fiesole (14/1), Near Kettering (16/1), Toulson (16/1), Hamley (16/1), Pandagreen (16/1), Tirmizi (20/1), Harebell (25/1), Admodum (25/1), Vastonea (25/1), Castle Guest (33/1)

Verdict

Inscribe will be popular for the Lyons/Keane team after a good reappearance over a shorter trip and should be in the mix when it counts, while Giorni Felice has winning form over the trip and gets a chance from the handicapper on this return to action. Tirmizi, Toulson and Rickrack have their merits but PANDAGREEN represents a trainer going great runs, has won over the trip and is capable of going well fresh on any ground. She gets the nod.
