Forecasts

Island Of Skye (11/4), Miss Harmony (7/2), Persian Wolf (5/1), Sun Festival (5/1), Gustav Holst (15/2), Medrara (17/2), Stormingin (12/1), Compere (28/1), Faithless Insomnia (40/1)

Verdict

An opening-looking apprentice handicap to start proceedings and SUN FESTIVAL gets the tentative nod to double her career tally back down in trip from this career-low mark. The main threat could be Island of Skye, who showed improved form to narrowly get off the mark at Kempton earlier this month, while Persian Wolf and veteran Stormingin are another couple worthy of a mention.

  1. SUN FESTIVAL
  2. ISLAND OF SKYE
  3. PERSIAN WOLF (IRE)
