Forecasts

Fou Et Sage (3/1), Springtown Lake (10/3), Buckhorn Timothy (7/2), Volpone Jelois (13/2), Druid's Folly (12/1), Morianour (12/1), Dubawi Island (12/1), Winning Spark (20/1)

Quite a trappy contest in which cases can be made for Dubawi Island (well weighted on his best form), Volpone Jelois (also nicely handicapped) and Morianour (first time in a handicap). They are each respected along with Fou Et Sage, whose last run behind Elgin reads well. Preference, though, is for the unexposed and seemingly-progressive SPRINGTOWN LAKE, who runs in a handicao for the first time after showing plenty of promise in a couple of maiden hurdles.
