Forecasts

Broken Rifle (2/1), Lincoln Gamble (9/4), Calonne (4/1), Ricksen (4/1), English Spirit (4/1), Pope Gregory (15/2), Plansina (15/2), Whatzupwithme (8/1), Santa Florentina (11/1)

BROKEN RIFLE's strike rate is hardly compelling, but he left the distinct impression that his turn is near when chasing home Almufeed (winner again since) here last time. With his mark left untouched and Joanna Mason claiming a handy 3 lb, he gets the nod ahead of Plansina. Lincoln Gamble has won over 7f here the last twice, including on Saturday, but moving back up in trip may not be ideal.
