Forecasts

Big Gossey (11/4), Maggie Thunder (3/1), Dandy Spirit (3/1), Mrs Bouquet (10/3), Poet's Pride (9/2), Twilight Man (7/1), Red Cymbal (25/1)

POET'S PRIDE is fairly consistent around here and he can get back to winning ways with a useful 5 lb jockey's allowance off his back, leaving him on a feather weight compared to some. Big Gossey disappointed last time on turf but he too has a good record here and has to be respected. Twilight Man is another that should appreciate the return to this venue.
