7/1

Form: 800-

Forecasts

Nortonthorpe Boy (10/3), Gypsy Boy (9/2), Decadent (5/1), Dubai Tigress (11/2), Banoffee (7/1), Rainbow Sign (7/1), Major J (12/1), Iesha (14/1), Smokey Malone (25/1), Zankala (150/1)

DUBAI TIGRESS has improved since sent into handicaps and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth to Iesha over C&D last time, so is fancied to gain compensation here. Nortonthorpe Boy is feared most on the back of his recent Wolverhampton victory despite shouldering a 6 lb penalty with Milton Bradley's in-form filly clearly also much respected too.
