Forecasts

Ayr Poet (6/4), George Ridsdale (11/4), Broctune Red (9/2), Rosemay (10/1), Retirement Beckons (14/1), Phantasmal (14/1), Flying Moon (16/1), Queen Mia (20/1), Fast Track Flyer (28/1), Black Star Dancing (40/1), Roaring Forties (40/1), Jorgie (40/1), Herbert Pocket (50/1), Jazz Hands (50/1)

Having justified strong support in ready fashion at Newcastle 9 days ago, GEORGE RIDSDALE is a fairly straightforward selection to follow up under a penalty. Ayr Poet and Rosemay, also recent scorers, could be the ones to trouble him most.
