Forecasts

Never Dark (7/4), Denzil's Laughing (7/2), North Wind (5/1), Stay Smart (6/1), Good Luck Fox (15/2), Gowanbuster (8/1), Sound Of Iona (9/1), Abel Handy (14/1), Tomily (16/1), Jordan Electrics (25/1)

A typically competitive sprint handicap with the vote in favour of DENZIL'S LAUGHING. A winner at Catterick in April, he needs forgiving a lesser effort at Redcar on his most recent start, but having run well here previously, it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. Never Dark and Jordan Electrics are a couple of others fancied to be in the mix.
