Forecasts

Royal Brave (9/2), Dapper Man (9/2), Knightcap (5/1), Undercover Brother (11/2), Gamesome (13/2), Not On Your Nellie (12/1), Burtonwood (16/1), Hello Girl (16/1), Nibras Shadow (18/1), Alsvinder (22/1), Atyaaf (25/1), Hawk In The Sky (28/1), David's Beauty (33/1), Swiss Connection (33/1), Newgate Angel (33/1), Groundworker (50/1), Mutawaffer (80/1)

Rebecca Bastiman has her team in good form and ROYAL BRAVE might be ready to capitalise on his reduced mark based on his latest Musselburgh third. Undercover Brother went close over C&D on his reappearance and arrives in form so rates an obvious danger, while Knightcap will also be thereabouts if able to reproduce the level of last week's close second at Yarmouth.
