Forecasts

Canagat (5/2), Big Bard (11/4), Red Alert (5/1), Riley's Positano (6/1), Sapphire's Moon (15/2), Ower Starlight (12/1), Me Next (16/1), Holdenhurst (25/1), Vice Royal (150/1)

RED ALERT had a bit left in th tank when scoring here a fortnight ago and looks the way to go in an open handicap. In-form C&D winner.Sapphire's Moon is feared most, although Riley's Positano needs factoring in too on his handicap debut.
