Forecasts

Esticky End (16/5), Ron O (7/2), Soller Bay (4/1), Star Shakeera (11/2), Lucy Rules (8/1), Bold Territories (12/1), Debated (16/1), Tampa (18/1), Krystal Maze (28/1), Elizabeth's Dream (66/1)

A few with chances but ESTICKY END looks to have got in lightly raised just 2 lb for his stylish selling handicap win over C&D last week so gets the nod. Lucy Rules, who chased home David Barron's gelding that day, is again taken to fill the runner-up spot ahead of handicap-debutante Star Shakeera.
