Forecasts

Andonno (11/4), Hiroshi (3/1), Legendary Day (5/1), Dansing Bear (5/1), Golden Claim (9/1), Almadrina (10/1), East Coast Road (18/1), Totem (40/1), London Art (40/1), Vivid Imagination (40/1), Where You At (66/1)

LEGENDARY DAY was given a considerate introduction when a running-on fourth at Chelmsford so is taken to build on that here upped in trip and open his account. George Boughey has quickly announced himself as an excellent trainer so his newcomer Almadrina is well worth considering, while Andonno is also sure to make his presence felt on the back of his debut Kempton second.
