Forecasts

Zookeeper (5/4), Fae The Port (3/1), Capo Bay (13/2), Beechwood Emily (7/1), Ayr Empress (12/1), Chase That Dream (20/1), Desert Quest (33/1), Rosesathendoftime (100/1)

ZOOKEEPER was unable to make much of an impact on his all-weather debut when last seen back in October but is taken to open his account sneaking into this 0-65 contest with Joe Fanning on board for the first time. Fae The Port was doing his best work late on at Newcastle a fortnight ago so he's feared most upped further in trip, ahead of Beechwood Emily.
