Forecasts

Covert Mission (5/2), Red Evelyn (5/1), Rania (5/1), Magicinthemaking (8/1), Hanoverian King (8/1), Bobby On The Beat (10/1), Arsonist (14/1), Cashel (14/1), Ray Day (22/1), Breckland (25/1), Greyed First (66/1), Seprani (80/1), Marchetti (125/1), Vocal Ring (150/1)

RED EVELYN has run 3 solid races in AW handicaps this winter and may be capable of getting off the mark here. Covert Mission ought to have a say now dipping into a 0-60 for the first time, while Rania has been knocking on the door of late and is also likely to play a prominent role.
