Forecasts

Appenzeller (11/8), Berkshire Royal (3/1), Short Head (6/1), Birdette (8/1), Pact Of Steel (11/1), Don't Cry About It (14/1), Captain Kissinger (18/1), Kingfast (25/1), Thama (33/1)

Verdict

APPENZELLER made a pleasing handicap debut here recently and he can register his first success by taking this for in form handler Richard Hughes (4/18). The selection was tackling this trip for the first time on that occasion and can get the better of his rivals today with Berkshire Royal capable of finishing runner-up having been gelded since his latest outing. Short Head is fitted with blinkers for the first time for today's outing and they can see her start to fulfill her early promise by finishing third.
  1. Appenzeller
  2. Berkshire Royal
  3. Short Head
