Forecasts

Giuseppe Cassioli (2/1), Mrs Fitzherbert (11/2), Mykonos St John (7/1), Asdaa (15/2), Highfaluting (9/1), Hit The Heights (10/1), Zuhair (12/1), Tricolore (16/1), Baby Steps (16/1), Gordonstoun (20/1), Heshmah (80/1)

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI has a good record at this venue and he's very consistent so he ticks enough boxes to get the nod. It's a competitive handicap though and Highfaluting is equally reliable and could be a danger. The less exposed and progressive Mrs Fitzherbert should play a part too but has the widest stall to contend with.
