Forecasts

Port Road (9/4), Top Of The Class (4/1), Straight A (9/2), Angelica K (11/2), Age Of Baroque (13/2), Law Supreme (14/1), Ombrecell (20/1), Autumn Angel (28/1), Uncle Dick (33/1), Redredrobin (50/1)

Mick Appleby's STRAIGHT A rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his good recent Leicester second so is taken to fend off three-time C&D scorer Top of The Class who looks a big threat. Port Road appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours in a handicap where lots arrive with a question mark against them.
