Forecasts

Lezardrieux (4/1), Obee Jo (9/2), Embour (5/1), Praxeology (6/1), Restless Endeavour (13/2), Lady Nectar (13/2), Shawaamekh (7/1), Erich Bloch (9/1), Jill Rose (12/1)

A competitive sprint handicap with the vote going to LEZARDRIEUX, who was a good second at Pontefract 10 days ago and lines up off the same mark here. Embour drops in grade following a respectable effort in the Great St Wilfred at Ripon so must enter calculations, with Praxeology another to consider under a 5-lb penalty for a recent win at Southwell.
