Forecasts

Sexy Lot (4/1), Golden Emblem (4/1), Apple Rock (4/1), Sopran Thor (11/2), Doitforthevillage (6/1), Fil D'ariane (14/1), Fulgurix (14/1), Honorary Colonel (16/1), Lady Kk (18/1), Tel'art (20/1), Itsnotwhatyouthink (25/1), Top Drawer (80/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN EMBLEM has thrived in handicaps since the turn of the year, defying a career-high mark with a good deal to spare at Wincanton 9 days ago. That may not be her limit and she can make another bold bid. Similar comments apply to Apple Rock who is feared, along with Sexy Lot, whilst veteran Doitforthevillage can also go well operating from his lower hurdles mark.
