Forecasts

The Yellow Bus (7/4), Hipz (5/1), Garth Rockett (6/1), Viola Park (8/1), Inshaa (10/1), Space War (10/1), Hidden Stash (12/1), Bertie Blu Boy (20/1), Perfect Pastime (33/1), Chicago School (33/1), Jungle George (33/1), Robert The Painter (50/1), Dramatic Voice (66/1)

THE YELLOW BUS can make her first appearance since joining this stable a winning one by taking this competitive looking handicap. The daughter of Zoffany has seen her handicap mark fall considerably in recent seasons and making her first start in a 0-60 she can record a third career success with a useful jockey booked to ride. The application of a hood can see Inshaa finish runner-up on his first outing since joining trainer Phil McEntee while Garth Rockett, fourth on his return from a break last time out finish one place better this time.
