Forecasts

Kolisi (8/11), Poet's Reflection (10/1), Ascot Day (11/1), Sweet Nightingale (11/1), Cry Wolf (11/1), Dolly McQueen (12/1), Professor Calculus (14/1), Miss Marette (14/1), Olly's Folly (14/1), Full Aux Rois (22/1), Colonel Lesley (28/1), Junior Massini (125/1)

Verdict

KOLISI showed something akin to his fairly useful Flat form when making a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Hereford on Sunday, and this 4-y-o will prove hard to beat under a penalty here with the promise of better to come. The one for the forecast could be Ascot Day, who didn't fare badly when returning from a break at Chepstow recently. Sweet Nightingale is open to improvement now handicapping and she's also shortlisted.

  1. KOLISI (IRE)
  2. ASCOT DAY (FR)
  3. SWEET NIGHTINGALE
