Forecasts

Boerhan (6/4), Fox Premier (7/2), Travel On (4/1), Ritchie Valens (9/2), The Trader (10/1)

The second three-year-old handicap on the cards and whilst this one doesn’t contain as many runners it’s no easier to solve that the preceding contest. The run of Travel On in the Sandown Classic Trial won’t have gone unnoticed by many and dropping back in class he’s likely to play a prominent part although the handicapper didn’t miss that effort. Boheran will be more at home on this more conventional track having struggled a little with the Newmarket undulations last time although his third to two useful types was sound enough. RITCHIE VALENS ran into a promising sort last time but did pull well clear of the rest and despite the rise in grade he’s taken to gain compensation.
