Forecasts

Spurofthemoment (11/4), Blue Venture (11/4), Bartat (4/1), Port Noir (7/1), Shaun's Delight (9/1), Glamorous Force (10/1), Some Nightmare (16/1), Heartstar (20/1), Clog Na Fola (25/1), Mumsbirthdaygirl (28/1), Lady Florence (50/1), Majestyk Fire (50/1)

A competitive looking three-year-old only sprint handicap that can go the way of top weight BARTAT who performed well when finishing in the frame in what looks a stronger race at Lingfield earlier this month. Blue Venture ended her two-year-old campaign with a good placed effort on the AW and she looks capable of recording a third placed effort at this venue while Port Noir can claim third dropping back in distance.
