Forecasts

Moka De Vassy (11/8), Zinc White (16/5), George Bancroft (5/1), Cornicello (6/1), Forever Blessed (17/2), The Guvnor (11/1), Allset (100/1), Fiamette (150/1), Prince Of Bad Lins (150/1)

Having won both starts in handicaps for Ralph Beckett in May, ZINC WHITE changed hands for £310,000 and, as a half-brother to a jumps winner abroad, hopes are high that he will take well to this discipline. George Bancroft made a winning start in this sphere at Fontwell and is the obvious threat.
