Forecasts

Rayat (16/5), Dickieburd (9/2), Londoner (11/2), Beattie Is Back (6/1), Etoile d'Alexandre (17/2), Snash (9/1), Rough Diamond (11/1), Ezra Cee (16/1), Catherine Chroi (18/1), Equiano Springs (20/1), Reveiller (40/1), Deputy (100/1)

DICKIEBURD's last win came here and he ran well in a competitive handicap at York on his penultimate outing, so he gets the marginal vote in an open-looking race. Veteran Equiano Springs looks a threat on the back of a strong finish at Newmarket and Catherine Chroi is likely to add another solid effort to an excellent season.
