Forecasts

May Punch (3/1), Lethally Lovely (7/2), Isladaay (4/1), Kendred Fire (6/1), Straits Of Moyle (15/2), Beauzon (10/1), Master Richard (12/1), Nemorum (14/1), Just A Claim (18/1), Bungley (18/1), Woodlands Charm (25/1)

An open-looking nursery in which LETHALLY LOVELY gets the nod given she is weighted to go close racing off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good recent fifth at Newmarket. Thirsk-scorer Kendred Fire is feared most now he steps into nursery company, although Master Richard is also well worth a second look on his first venture into handicaps.
