Forecasts

Kingson (2/1), Plansina (10/3), Carey Street (11/2), Amor Fati (13/2), Al Ozzdi (8/1), Don't Jump George (10/1), Scottish Blade (11/1), Strong Steps (14/1), Burnage Boy (50/1)

PLANSINA is a very consistent mare around this venue and can gain a second C&D victory here. Old rival Kingson looks the biggest danger returning to the scene of his C&D victory last month after a disappointing run at Southwell which can be forgiven. Carey Street ran well on his yard debut last month and should play a part in the finish.
