Forecasts

Fantalope (11/8), Dickens (3/1), Silvestris (4/1), Johnny Boom (4/1), Mashkoorah (15/2), Rain Gauge (10/1), Merci Percy (20/1), Arizona Gold (25/1)

JOHNNY BOOM wasted no time getting back on the up when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Pontefract 2 weeks ago and a 4 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. Well-bred filly Fantalope should have more to offer now handicapping and is feared most.
