Forecasts

Mellys Flyer (7/2), Hope Probe (4/1), Ginato (9/2), Love Of Zoffany (11/2), Shesaheart (15/2), Fircombe Hall (9/1), Midnight Poppy (12/1), Loweswater (12/1), Fliss Floss (28/1)

HOPE PROBE kept on well for fifth in an AW handicap that worked out very well a month ago and, having been eased 1 lb, he must go well if as effective on turf. Mellys Flyer has the hood back on for handicap debut and is a threat, with Ginato expected to step up on a low-key start for Roger Fell.
