Forecasts

Berkshire Phoenix (6/4), Blue Collar Lad (11/4), Symphony Perfect (4/1), Hollow Steel (5/1), Vaunted (13/2), Mercurial (10/1), Black Hill Storm (16/1), Papas Queen (20/1), Jac The Scrap (66/1)

A wide-open juvenile event in which HOLLOW STEEL makes most appeal. She shaped well on debut at Kempton last time, leaving the impression that she would come on for that run. Blue Collar Lad won here on debut ten days ago and he has to be taken seriously under his penalty. Vaunted's trainer has a very good record with juveniles and she makes most appeal of the newcomers.
