Forecasts

Quick Recovery (3/1), Tarseekh (9/2), Prince Rock (9/2), Catapult (6/1), Red Snapper (8/1), Le Manege Enchante (10/1), Good Business (12/1), Red Skye Delight (14/1), Farol (14/1), Wild Flower (14/1), Spenny's Lass (14/1), Alaskan Bay (25/1), Simply Sin (25/1), Dandy Lad (50/1)

FAROL performed well here on handicap debut and she can defy a wide draw to get off the mark in this competitive looking opening handicap. Tarseekh has been in good form here of late and he can claim second place ahead of Prince Rock who is dropping in distance having run well over further here on his last two starts.
