Forecasts

De Mazzaro (1/1), Teemlucky (4/1), Edgar Allan Poe (17/2), Tarnhelm (11/1), Amourie (12/1), Katsonis (16/1), Bouncing Bobby (22/1), Trinity Star (22/1), Book Of Invasions (33/1), The Brora Pobbles (40/1), Buzz Lightyere (66/1)

DE MAZZARO shaped well in different headgear back on the Flat on his first outing since leaving the training care of his still-owner Victor Thompson at Beverley last week, just failing having made his effort earlier than ideal. The gamble on him that day was significant and his backers can gain compensation here. Beverley 1-3 Edgar Allan Poe and Tarnhelm should figure again.
