Forecasts

Sweet Bertie (5/2), Shielded (3/1), Solent Gateway (10/3), Final Voyage (7/2), Red Right Sand (8/1), Apatite (14/1), Nagasaki Dream (33/1)

SWEET BERTIE can follow up his C&D victory off a 5 lb higher mark. Still lightly raced, he can find further improvement to see off a competitive field. Shielded looks dangerous on his handicap debut given he is likely to take another step forward on just his third start. Final Voyage is a two-time winner that can't be discounted easily.
