Forecasts

Sambucca Spirit (7/4), Ventura Express (2/1), Phoenix Star (9/2), Rockley Point (11/2), Quanah (9/1), Suwaan (10/1), Another Angel (10/1), Edessann (12/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (22/1), Atyaaf (25/1), Star Citizen (150/1)

VENTURA EXPRESS was turned over at short odds at Pontefract on Wednesday but he still performed with credit in a clear second and will be the one to beat if turned out again quickly. If he doesn't turn up, the one to take advantage could well be his stablemate Sambucca Spirit, who has posted 2 good runner-up efforts here this year. Suwaan finds winning difficult but could hit the frame again.
