Forecasts

Olaudah (1/1), New Rich (5/1), Mercers (10/1), Burauq (10/1), Napping (12/1), Rapid Rise (16/1), Bop It (20/1), Chip Or Pellet (33/1), Mags Well (33/1), Monarch Maid (40/1), Krazy Paving (40/1), Gorgeous (50/1)

NEW RICH can follow up his C&D success earlier this month by taking the opening contest on the card. The drop back to 6f appeared to help on that occasion and he can get the better of Olaudah who has finished runner-up on two of his three starts fort his stable while Mercers can claim third following a victory at Lingfield last week.
