Forecasts

Kraken Diamond (5/4), Odd Socks Havana (3/1), Martin's Brig (4/1), Ana Emaraaty (6/1), Retirement Beckons (10/1), Mr Coco Bean (10/1), Time Patrol (14/1)

KRAKEN DIAMOND pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up on his second start for Brian Toomey at Kempton a fortnight ago and has a big shout if in the same sort of form back in a handicap. Odd Socks Havana might be the danger.
