Forecasts

Fox Leicester (11/8), House Of Kings (3/1), Hightown Heights (7/1), War Hero (12/1), Carnival Craft (12/1), Anjah (14/1), Itsalonglongroad (16/1), Intend (25/1), The Fallen Madonna (28/1), Nevada Queen (33/1), Bella Coaster (40/1), Border Battle (250/1)

FOX LEICESTER has been running up to form in handicap company at this venue of late so rates the percentage call down in grade with the majority of these having lots to prove. House of Kings and Itsalonglongroad are a couple of potential threats.
