Forecasts

Court Of Session (5/2), Flintstone (3/1), Mizmar (13/2), They Don't Know (8/1), Octopus (17/2), Mackenzie Rose (11/1), Sandy Paradise (12/1), Chequer Square (16/1), Shorts On (22/1), Queen's Company (22/1), Isle Of Hope (100/1)

FLINTSTONE ran a fine race on handicap debut at Kempton earlier this month and is an obvious candidate to get off the mark here for Hannon & Moore. Court of Session showed fair form at 2 yrs and is likely to improve for the step up in trip on his return, whilst the consistent They Don't Know is another with a leading chance.
