Forecasts

Velvet Crush (4/1), Al Tarfa (4/1), Lunarscape (11/2), Always Fearless (7/1), Creme Chantilly (17/2), Haughty (17/2), Hostelry (17/2), Got No Dollars (10/1), Hurricane Kiko (12/1), Dicko The Legend (40/1), Brown Mouse (50/1)

Verdict

AL TARFA has only been beaten by one of the most progressive handicappers in the country on his last 2 outings and surely will take plenty of beating without a rival of that calibre in opposition this time. Hostelry is a really likeable mare and she should give another good account attempting to follow up from her Carlisle win, with the Gosdens' Velvet Crush also interesting on her handicap debut.

  1. AL TARFA
  2. HOSTELRY
  3. VELVET CRUSH (IRE)
