Forecasts

Star Of Affinity (3/1), Ugo Bingo (7/2), State Of Fame (15/2), Diesel Line (8/1), A Little Something (9/1), Nobody's Perfect (9/1), West Park Boy (10/1), Taritino (12/1), Broomfield Gale (14/1), Churchman (22/1), Hermes Le Gris (25/1), Just Go For It (33/1), Bruce Gobbler (40/1), Johannes (40/1), Exmoor Lad (40/1), Kendelu (100/1)

Verdict

A LITTLE SOMETHING stepped up on previous form when third at Hereford on handicap debut and this longer trip is likely draw further improvement out of her, so she's narrowly preferred to Ugo Bingo, who looks firmly on the up. Another likeable effort is expected from the in-form Star of Affinity.
