Forecasts

Tell'em Nowt (5/2), Beryl The Peril (7/2), Divine Connection (6/1), The First Hurrah (7/1), Bobby Joe Leg (9/1), Split Elevens (9/1), Excelinthejungle (9/1), Peachey Carnehan (10/1), Outtake (20/1), Maahi Ve (33/1), Too Shy Shy (33/1), Macs Dilemma (80/1)

A very competitive handicap for the grade and THE FIRST HURRAH is chanced to capitalise off a very workable looking mark. She's still a maiden but was running well off marks in the mid 60s earlier in the year and she should come on for her first run for this yard. Tell'Em Nowt won well at Southwell last week and is a danger. Beryl The Peril poses a significant threat too.
