Forecasts

Equate (4/1), Tell'em Nowt (9/2), Tinochio (5/1), Carbon Positive (11/2), Raffles Rebel (7/1), Pinball Wizard (8/1), Mehmo (9/1), It Just Takes Time (10/1), Maylah (50/1)

A chance is taken on RAFFLES REBEL who ran well on handicap debut at Lingfield in June before disappointing at Chepstow last time. He could rediscover his form with De Sousa taking over in the saddle. Carbon Positive won't be far away, while Equate could take a step forward today.
