Forecasts

Wye Aye (11/4), Lord Sparky (4/1), Honourmission (9/2), West To Crossgales (7/1), The Boom Is Back (8/1), Alberto's Dream (11/1), Rock On Aussie (11/1), Cotswold Prince (25/1), Arboretum (40/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which C&D winner ALBERTO'S DREAM is given a narrow vote having been dropped 2 lb on the back of an encouraging reappearance third at Ffos Las. Honourmission has much fewer miles on the clock so is feared most after his breakthrough Sedgefield win and Wye Aye is another worth a second look after a promising debut third over fences at Market Rasen.
