Forecasts

Tellovoi (4/1), Fantastic Flyer (9/2), Clement (9/2), Stand Firm (9/1), Scenery (10/1), King Of Rooks (10/1), Out Of The Ashes (10/1), Locommotion (12/1), Cool Echo (14/1), Plucky Dip (16/1), Caledonian Gold (20/1), Just An Idea (25/1), Bullseye Bullet (40/1)

LOCOMMOTION returns from a break here and he can record his fourth career success by taking the opening race on the card. The selection has the trip to suit and he can see off Just An Idea who has a fair draw stepping up in distance. Third place can go to Clement who was a winner here earlier this month and should appreciate the return to this venue.
