Forecasts

Tavener (3/1), Trotter (4/1), Captain Pugwash (6/1), Daring Guest (8/1), Baltic Prince (9/1), Little Miss Kodi (9/1), Mezmaar (12/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (12/1), Light From Mars (14/1), Arlecchino's Leap (16/1), Cadeaux Boxer (20/1), Interlink (40/1), Clement (40/1), Mister Freeze (50/1)

DARING GUEST can put a disappointing effort at Chelmsford last time out behind him by taking this 7f handicap. The selection had been in good form prior to that and can register his third AW success following two months off the track. The penalised Tavener was a winner over 6f at the weekend but is effective at this trip and can finish second while Trotter who has placed on his last three starts can finish third on his this attempt over this distance.
