Forecasts

Biotic (7/2), Poetic Force (4/1), Boycie (4/1), Arctic Sea (6/1), Bristol Missile (8/1), Star Stream (8/1), Deliberator (12/1), Arrowzone (16/1), Quina Brook (50/1)

BOYCIE can go one better than when finishing runner-up over this trip at Chepstow last time by taking a competitive looking handicap. Useful apprentice Rossa Ryan takes the ride once more and he can get the better of last time out winner Poetic Force who can claim second. Arrowzone was in good form when last in action late last year and he can claim third on seasonal debut.
