Forecasts

Prairie Diamond (9/4), Sassified (3/1), Zhang Fei (5/1), Grain Trade (13/2), Harry Gulliver (12/1), Vivid Pink (14/1), Footloose Man (16/1), West Park Boy (16/1), Ugo Bingo (18/1), Mactavish (20/1), Fine By Her (40/1), Kintaro (40/1), Bigz Belief (50/1), Chester Tonik (80/1), Too Sharp (80/1), Of Corse I Can (125/1)

Verdict

PRAIRIE DIAMOND escapes a penalty for last week's Wincanton success and is the percentage call to follow up. Harry Gulliver ran well in a race that appeals as solid form at Huntingdon on his most recent outing, while handicap-debutant West Park Boy and Bigz Belief, who was running well when falling 2 out at Exeter, are other interesting rivals.

  1. PRAIRIE DIAMOND (IRE)
