Forecasts

Bonneval (13/8), Tenbury Wells (9/2), Flyin' High (13/2), Menai Bridge (9/1), Toronado Grey (9/1), Lord Neidin (12/1), Sincerest (12/1), Crownthorpe (12/1), Atheeb (14/1), Smash Hit (25/1), Buckingham (50/1)

Another competitive handicap in which LORD NEIDIN makes most appeal. He returned from his second wind surgery with a win at Pontefract last month and could build on that tonight. He's already proven on an artificial surface and should go close. Bonneval has found just one too good in his last three starts and he has to be respected. Atheeb and Crownthorpe may offer some each-way value.
