Forecasts

Verdict

SCARPIA was able to dictate under Nathan Brennan at Plumpton last week and makes obvious appeal to follow up given he's unpenalised for that success. Welsh Saint stopped the slide in first-time blinkers last time and is a well-treated horse if they have same effect here, whilst handicap-debutant Lord Roco is sure to appreciate the step up in trip.
