Forecasts

Kingsholm (3/1), Blazing Hot (4/1), Top Secret (4/1), Lilkian (9/2), The Blue Bower (9/1), Gold Brocade (10/1), Beauty Choice (11/1), Bernard Spierpoint (11/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (18/1), Abwaaq (40/1), Bring The Money (40/1), Port Winston (200/1)

KINGSHOLM has made a very encouraging start to life in handicaps and he's taken to get back to winning ways after his recent runner-up effort over this C&D just under 3 weeks ago. There looks sure to be more to come from James Fanshawe's charge. Lilkian is feared most chasing an impressive 4-timer, ahead of Gold Brocade and Top Secret.
