Forecasts

Roll The Dough (13/8), Barton Rose (5/2), On Demand (9/2), Full Shift (6/1), Foundation Man (7/1), Shady Glen (10/1)

BARTON ROSE was placed here last time out and she can register a first victory of the season in this six runner handicap chase. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit and can get the better of bottom weight Roll The Dough who has been running well over further. Third place can go the way of Full Shift who is likely to have improved for his stable debut and is well handicapped on his best form.
