Forecasts

Tribuna Uffizi (11/4), Beau Geste (16/5), Mustang Kodi (11/2), Miss Sligo (7/1), Dew You Believe (9/1), Dancing Master (16/1), Jenny Ren (20/1), King Christophe (22/1), Turn Of Phrase (22/1), Fleursals (22/1), Rockinovertheworld (25/1), Only Debris (40/1)

TRIBUNA UFFIZI was a bit better than the result when fourth in a Chelmsford handicap last time so might be worth siding with to build on that and get off the mark at the eighth time of asking. Miss Sligo won one of these at Kempton at the start of the month and heads the dangers along with Tony Carroll's Beau Geste.
