Forecasts

Battyeford Boy (2/1), Novak (10/3), Gangway (9/2), Sparka (5/1), Sun Rising (15/2), Bungley (18/1), Do It Today (18/1), Wynn Palace (33/1)

BATTYEFORD BOY left his previous efforts well behind when making a winning handicap debut in this headgear at Leicester on Tuesday and is taken to defy a penalty in what is arguably a weaker event. Sun Rising has a similar profile to the selection so looks the obvious threat, while Novak looks the type to do better again now handicapping.
