Forecasts

Sporting Times (13/8), Maratha (9/4), Stararchitecture (9/2), Envoy (9/1), Harbour Force (14/1), Long Socks (25/1), Starboard Watch (33/1), Dutch Melody (33/1), Bombero (50/1), Three's A Crowd (100/1)

MARATHA ran well to finish runner-up on his racecourse debut over this distance at Southwell earlier this month and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking here. Sporting Times is another to run well on on his debut and he can claim second on his seasonal debut here here having finished runner-up on good-to-soft ground at Leicester last September while Stararchitecture who finished a well held third at Chelmsford on his debut represents a yard in good form at present and can claim third once more.
