Forecasts

Vindobala (6/1), Soller Bay (6/1), Alba De Tormes (7/1), We Still Believe (8/1), Bazzy (17/2), Desert Cat (17/2), Bear Me In Mind (9/1), Arthur Norse (10/1), Isla Vista (12/1), Brazen Bow (14/1), Dr T J Eckleburg (16/1), Can Can Girl (18/1), The Fast Lion (40/1), Waltzing (80/1)

This can go to ALBA DE TORMES, who made all on handicap debut at Newcastle last month and can follow up with his talented claimer Pierre-Louis Jamin taking off a valuable 5 lb. Isla Vista made some good late gains into fourth at Lingfield just over 3 weeks ago so heads up the possible dangers, ahead of Desert Cat and Vindobala in an open-looking contest.
