Forecasts

Irish Ambassador (4/1), Dark Magic (9/2), Kinch (9/2), Muraahin (5/1), Kudbegood (7/1), Neyland (9/1), Pempie (11/1), Golden Days (12/1), Iseebreeze (12/1), Miss Sassyboots (14/1), Sister Lola (14/1), Silk Cravat (16/1), Munfallet (18/1), Dolce Sicily (25/1), Crest Of A Wave (28/1), Crystal Pool (80/1), Feel Good Factor (100/1)

Several to consider in this competitive handicap. KINCH is just 3 lb higher than for his latest success over C&D in March and is taken to resume winning ways following a series of near misses. Recent C&D 1-2 Neyland and Irish Ambassador cannot be omitted from calculations, but bigger threats may be posed by Pempie, who has slipped to a dangerous mark, and Dark Magic.
