Forecasts

X Rated (7/2), Know Your Limit (9/2), Light Of Joy (5/1), Shamrokh (5/1), Genetics (11/2), Mouille Point (7/1), Sparte Quercus (10/1), Carry Me Home (14/1), Baashiq (20/1)

KNOW YOUR LIMIT put in a fair effort in novice company at Kempton last time out and he can break his maiden at the 11th time of asking now switched back to handicaps. The selection placed off this mark over this distance last autumn and he can get the better of X Rated who has run well on both outings so far this spring while Mouille Point can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her by claiming third.
