Forecasts

Uncle Dick (6/4), Oh So Audacious (4/1), Reformed Character (6/1), Cap D'Antibes (7/1), Kodi Noir (15/2), Edmund Ironside (8/1), Letter Of The Law (11/1), Rivas Rob Roy (14/1), Chico Dulce (18/1), He's Our Star (20/1), James Park Woods (28/1), Star Of Sussex (28/1), The Game Is Up (33/1), Beautiful Surprise (40/1)

UNCLE DICK didn't enjoy the rub of the green when last at Wolverhampton and is fancied to capitalise on an attractive mark and bag a fourth C&D victory. Edmund Ironside is weighted to go well and rates next best on his return to handicaps, with Cap d'Antibes and Chico Dulce also in the mix.
