Forecasts

Khangai (15/8), City Escape (7/2), First Encounter (5/1), Bay Dream Believer (6/1), Cerulean Summer (9/1), High Court Judge (9/1), Rose Light (12/1), Break The Spell (25/1), Gaazooo (150/1)

A tightly-knit handicap in which FIRST ENCOUNTER edges the vote off just a 1 lb higher mark than when going in here last time out. City Escape arrives in good order and heads the list of dangers, although Khangai, High Court Judge and Ceruliean Summer are all weighted to have a say too.
