Forecasts

Chairman (7/4), Havaila (5/2), Ring Fenced (11/4), Valsad (11/2)

An interesting maiden with RING FENCED taken to build on her promising debut effort at Newbury and get off the mark. She was doing good work at the finish there, so the step up in trip will suit and she seems sure to improve. Chairman could be set for second again having bumped into useful prospects on his first 2 starts.
