Forecasts

Galactic Glow (5/4), Barney's Angel (9/4), Miss Lightfandango (7/2), Storm Asset (15/2), Jimmy Mark (17/2), Dark Gold (9/1), Opticality (9/1), Caramay (14/1)

GALACTIC GLOW and Barney's Angel occupied the first two positions in a Windsor handicap last week, with the former taken to reverse the form on 5 lb better terms. Dark Gold returned to form in blinkers at Brighton and is another to consider.
