Forecasts

Oh Great (5/2), Alphonse Le Grande (11/4), Olimba (11/2), San Francisco Bay (13/2), Vaxholm (7/1), Fille De La Lune (8/1), Lark Lane (18/1), True Company (66/1)

An extremely open nursery with all but one of the runners making their handicap debuts. ALPHONSE LE GRANDE has caught the eye in qualifying runs and he should improve for the step up in trip so he gets the nod. Lark Lane should also improve for the step up in trip and should play a part. Oh Great and Olimba are both far from out of it.
