Forecasts

Verdict

A few with chances but BALRANALD posted an excellent third here last month on only his second run for Keith Dalgleish and can race off the same mark so gets the verdict. Be The Difference was an eye-catcher when third at Fakenham last time so is feared most with handicap-debutant Honda Fifty another likely to step forward and well worth a second look.
