Forecasts

Easy Code (6/4), Salt Whistle Bay (5/1), Bryght Boy (7/1), Arctic Flower (8/1), Cyflymder (9/1), Prince Of Cardamom (11/1), Bookmaker (11/1), Morello (12/1), Popeswood (14/1), Caledonia Duchess (14/1), Olympic Duel (20/1), Corporal Maddox (22/1), Luduamf (25/1), Double Dutch (28/1), Blistering Dancer (28/1)

Blistering Dancer may be the one to take them along here over this 7f trip, with, possibly Salt Whistle Bay, Prince Of Cardamom settling in behind. CD winners, Cyflymder and Arctic Flower, fourth of 16, beaten 5L, in Lingfield 7f handicap on good ground three week ago, can grab a place, while preference is for, EASY CODE, who can build on his fourth of eight, beaten 4¼L last day in Newmarket 1m handicap on good to soft at the end of June.
