Forecasts

Ey Up Its The Boss (16/5), Khurumbi (18/5), Treasure Troube (11/2), Makhan King (7/1), Thin Lizzy (7/1), May Punch (10/1), Darbucks (12/1), Hurt You Never (20/1), Mystic Moonshadow (20/1), Buachaill (25/1), Golden Gal (50/1), Act Of Passion (50/1)

Although a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last time, KHURUMBI was a respectable second, and her previous efforts had contained plenty of promise. Her pedigree points to improvement, so she's worth a chance to make a winning handicap debut in a race that might not take much winning. Darbucks arrives in form and should pose a threat, while Ey Up Its The Boss could produce a bigger effort on seasonal debut.
