Forecasts

Imajorblush (1/1), Selsey Sizzler (9/2), Pound Off You (6/1), Athabasca (13/2), Barney Bullet (10/1), Archive (18/1), Buzz Lightyere (40/1), Cheese And Wine (40/1), Pivello (50/1), Pushover (50/1)

David Menuisier brings SELSEY SIZZLER a long way for a 0-55 handicap and he makes most appeal having ran well on this surface at Wolverhampton last year. He shaped well after a break last season and could finally get off the mark here. Imajorblush will be a big danger having just been touched off at Lingfield last month. Barney Bullet looks the best of the remainder.
