Forecasts

Sayifyouwill (5/2), Lower Street (4/1), Ventura Vision (9/2), Final Rendezvous (5/1), Petalite (6/1), Valentinka (7/1), River Chorus (9/1), Closeness (14/1), Cesifire (25/1)

FINAL RENDEZVOUS upped her game when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap and has seemingly found a good opportunity off the same mark in a weak race on paper. She gets the nod ahead of Lower Street and River Chorus, both potential improvers on handicap debut.
