Forecasts

Salmanino (3/1), Petrol Head (6/1), Robinstown (7/1), Stockdale (7/1), Golden Cosmos (9/1), China Princess (9/1), Itsnotinit (10/1), Young Dev (12/1), Classic Concorde (18/1), Silvertown (18/1), Ask And Answer (22/1), Lean Araig (40/1), Powersbomb (40/1), Quaker Island (50/1), Turbojet (50/1), Sweet Sting (66/1), Rosfoyle (66/1), Boss Girl (80/1), Young Jack Yates (80/1), Windmill Lady (100/1), Masterstonemason (125/1)

SALMANINO got off the mark on his handicap debut here last month, finding plenty to hold off a pair of recent winners, and looks the type to go on improving, so he's taken to defy a 7 lb rise and follow up. Robinstown got back on the up faced with more of a test when runner-up at Fairyhouse 15 days ago and remains unexposed at around 3m, while Stockdale ought to give another good account.
