Forecasts

Los Alamos (11/4), Chaparral Dream (7/2), Park Row (9/2), Lady De Vesci (5/1), Rabbie The Bard (11/1), Brokopondo (12/1), Marino Marvel (20/1), Arctic Sofia (22/1), Spinning Pearl (22/1), Mom Said (22/1), Comehere Hi (25/1), Rips Dream (33/1), Let It Go Papa (33/1), Yo Tambien (33/1), Eugenie Feather (50/1), Havingagoodtime (50/1)

PARK ROW can follow up his win of seven days ago and land the closing race of the evening for father and son duo Denis and Ross Coakley. The eight-year-old won a 1m2½f handicap off an 8lb lower mark finishing 2½L ahead of Chaparral Dream and can confirm those placing here. Mick Halford's Lady De Vesci and C&D winner Brokopondo can both go well at a price.
