Forecasts

Melting Dew (3/1), Alfarris (7/2), Pivoine (7/2), King's Proctor (6/1), Bathsheba Bay (7/1), Not So Sleepy (12/1), Alternative Fact (14/1), Blue Laureate (16/1), Nayel (20/1)

There's plenty to like about PIVOINE after an impressive course and distance success last time out and a 10lb rise for that looks perfectly fair given the manner of the win. Alfarris is another last time out winner who would appear to be returning on a workable handicap mark and Melting Dew isn't ruled out after a winning return at Chelmsford last time.
