Forecasts

Alabama Boy (10/3), Cuban Dancer (7/2), Menai Bridge (4/1), Mojandil (9/2), Desert History (5/1), Brunnera (6/1), Babajan (9/1)

CUBAN DANCER shaped encouragingly on his handicap debut when fourth at Wolverhampton and can capitalise on a handy mark for his in-form yard. Alabama Boy looks ready to take a step forward now handicapping so rates the biggest threat. with in-form Babajan not taken lightly either in an open handicap.
