Forecasts
Rita's Man (11/4), Alshibaa (3/1), Warm Love (9/2), Golconda Prince (6/1), Staff College (8/1), Lucy's Law (9/1), Powerful Love (10/1), Good Time Ahead (18/1), Racemaker (28/1)
A few of these may improve for this longer trip, notably Lucy's Law and Golconda Prince. The latter was well supported for his handicap debut and he appeals as the type to win before too long. On this occasion he runs into WARM LOVE from an in form yard. Her three runs in maidens give her an excellent chance off this mark with the form of her last two starts working out particularly well. Alshibaa represents a yard that do well here. The form of his Nottingham fifth has worked out well but he has since gone through the sales ring unsold and produced a lacklustre display at Wolverhampton.

- Golconda Prince
