Forecasts

Ambassadorial (5/2), Togoville (5/1), Arbourfield (6/1), Turbine (13/2), Mr Ormsby (7/1), Tonkinese (7/1), Have A Nice Day (10/1), Reckless Lad (12/1), Cascavelle (12/1), Geological (12/1), Atlas (14/1), Silk Cravat (16/1), Annie Fior (66/1)

MR ORMSBY has run well on both starts this year and he can register his second victory over today's C&D by taking this 7f handicap. Sheila Lavery's charge has a leading jockey booked to ride today and he can get the better of top weight and handicap debutant Ambassadorial who is the least experienced runner in today's field. Togoville, a winner last time out and another who has been in good form this year can finish third on this occasion.
