Forecasts

Rathagan (11/4), Almqvist (10/3), Rodney Le Roc (7/2), You Don't Own Me (6/1), Sparkling Diamond (9/1), Feel Good Factor (10/1), Upstage (28/1), Gifted Dreamer (33/1)

Verdict

Given the sparkling form of the yard at present, Rathagan must enter calculations on his return from a 69-day break. He has been running in a slightly higher grade since switched to handicaps without being disgraced and should have a leading role to play. After taking a step back in the right direction over 5f last time, Feel Good Factor is another one who can be given a chance, as can Sparkling Diamond, though there are small concerns about her fitness. Thus, preference is for ALMQVIST who can build upon a very promising handicap debut when runner-up at Lingfield just nine days ago. She is turned out quickly again but that isn't a worry coming from this source.
