Forecasts

Red Flyer (15/8), Sophosc (5/2), Ivynator (5/1), Eagle One (5/1), Charlie Arthur (7/1), Culture (8/1), Ilhabela Fact (25/1), September Power (28/1), Luna Magic (28/1)

SOPHOSC didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Lingfield last time so is taken to get back to winning ways off a handy-looking mark. In-form Eagle One should also make his presence felt, with Charlie Arthur and Ivynator both high on the shortlist too in an open handicap.
