Forecasts

Crocodile Power (7/2), Savannah Smiles (11/2), Astrophysics (7/1), Nordic Glory (15/2), Tathmeen (15/2), Dapper Man (8/1), Higher Law (10/1), Alfred Cove (11/1), Tommytwohoots (16/1), Coast (18/1), Poweredbylove (28/1), Dodgy Bob (28/1)

SAVANNAH SMILES gained reward for her consistency when beating a subsequent winner at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and she looks on a workable mark back in a handicap. Astrophysics is potentially a big threat if things drop his way, while Nordic Glory is worth another chance back down in trip.
