Forecasts

Palmar Bay (2/1), Physique (6/1), Thunder Blue (7/1), Benacre (9/1), Signcastle City (10/1), Grand Karat (10/1), Probe (11/1), Documenting (14/1), Nibras Angel (14/1), Tennessee Gold (14/1), Noodle Mission (20/1), Silver Samurai (28/1), Sheriff's Court (28/1), Pressure's On (28/1), Fantasy Master (33/1), Habrdi (80/1)

This is wide open but TENNESSEE GOLD returns from a break on a still handy-looking mark so is fancied to follow up his cosy Kempton victory. Sir Mark Prescott's handicap debutant Sheriff's Court appeals as a likely improver and heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for Habrdi, Signcastle City, Thunder Blue and Silver Samurai in this highly competitive handicap.
