Forecasts

Batchelor Boy (9/2), Kind Review (5/1), Outrage (11/2), Mercenary Rose (8/1), Doc Sportello (10/1), Gowanbuster (11/1), Manshood (11/1), Another Angel (14/1), Duke Of Firenze (18/1), Friendly Advice (18/1), Lua De Mel (20/1), Line Of Reason (22/1), Dazzling Des (28/1), Secretinthepark (50/1)

DOC SPORTELLO is an admirable veteran who rarely runs a bad race and is chanced to take a competitive sprint in first time blinkers. Tom Marquand has a good record onboard the eight-year-old and he may be able to get a seventh-career win out of the old boy. Kind Review drops back in trip after winning over 6f here and should go close. Manshood is one of several with each-way claims.
