Forecasts

Oskemen (9/4), Fortune And Glory (3/1), Catoca (7/2), Sea Shack (11/1), Rainbow Jazz (12/1), Pike Corner Cross (12/1), Baashiq (16/1), Dance Me (25/1), Cherbourg (33/1)

FORTUNE AND GLORY is taken to follow up his recent victory in this competitive looking handicap. Runner-up that day Oskemen can fill the same position in this event while third place can go the way of Catoca who was placed at Newmarket on her most recent start.
