Forecasts

Rock Icon (15/8), Fortune And Glory (15/8), Gealach Ghorm (5/1), Aye Aye Skipper (11/2), Mister Musicmaster (10/1)

FORTUNE AND GLORY can make amends for his narrow defeat last time out by taking this competitive handicap. The selection has had just the four runs in handicaps and as such remains open to improvement. Aye Aye Skipper showed his liking for this venue when placed here last time and he can claim second ahead of Rock Icon who should appreciate the return to this trip.
