Forecasts

Velvet Vista (9/4), Word Of Honour (9/2), Katelli (11/2), Viola Park (17/2), Bold Decision (9/1), Everkyllachy (10/1), London (12/1), Chiarodiluna (14/1), Katsonis (18/1)

VELVET VISTA could be well treated under a 5 lb penalty after her facile success in a Chelmsford classified event last week. Returning to a handicap, she should take all the beating if in the same form. Viola Park loves it round here and he shouldn't be far away. Everkyllachy is another with each-way claims.
