Forecasts

HOLDENHURST showed a liking for this venue as a juvenile and he can make a winning return to this track following a decent fifth at Lingfield last time out. Mother Of Dragons has a leading jockey booked to ride for her return to turf and she can take second place ahead of Cool Strutter who was a winner here last autumn.
