Forecasts

Phantasmal (10/11), St Anne's (7/2), Middlescence (9/2), Trevie Fountain (6/1), First Excel (7/1), The Golden Cue (14/1), Dors Toyboy (18/1), Le Manege Enchante (28/1), Nellie French (50/1), Hellofagame (66/1), Spirit Of Opal (100/1)

ST ANNE'S has significantly more scope to improve than most of these. She's by a sire that has a tremendous record on this surface so should take all the beating on handicap debut. First Excel enjoys it round here and returned to form last time so should play a part. Thursday's winner Phantasmal would be an obvious player if turned out again quickly.
