Forecasts

Dakota Gold (3/1), Out Do (3/1), Blue De Vega (10/3), Orvar (9/2), Soie D'leau (11/2), Carlton Frankie (8/1), Midnight Malibu (16/1)

ORVAR can register his third victory on turf by taking this seven runner handicap. The selection put a disappointing effort at Lingfield behind him when finishing runner-up at Newbury last time out and he can see off Soie D'leau who is making his seasonal debut here and is also making his first start for John Quinn who's horses are in good form at present (6/22). Wind surgery appeared to bring about improvement in Carlton Frankie last time out and she can finish third while top weight Out Do is another to consider.
