Forecasts

Goldspur (4/5), Mr Mccann (4/1), Berkshire Rebel (6/1), Austrian Theory (8/1), Merlin's Lady (12/1)

GOLDSPUR looked well above average when making a winning debut at Sandown 11 days ago, leading around 2f out and quickly putting the race to bed. Charlie Appleby's charge is sure to go on to better things, so he's fancied to make it 2-2 here. Austrian Theory narrowly shades the vote for the forecast spot, ahead of Mr McCann.
