Forecasts

For Pleasure (11/4), The Mouse Doctor (5/1), Subjudice (5/1), Ace Of Diamonds (5/1), Bit Of Banter (11/2), Black Label (8/1), Miraculum (10/1), Parisian (14/1), Remembered Joy (20/1)

BIT OF BANTER can make a winning handicap debut by taking the concluding race on the card. The selection should appreciate the step up in trip and she can get the better of For Pleasure who was a winner here on his penultimate start. Third can go the way of Black Label who has run well over C&D in the past.
