Forecasts

Simply Sondheim (2/1), Fergie Time (2/1), Prince Achille (9/2), Cabinet Maker (17/2), Hoi An Beach (11/1), Sophiesticate (16/1), James Jude (40/1), Silver Vision (66/1), Drill To Dream (100/1)

FERGIE TIME left it late to score on handicap debut last time and he can go on to complete the double. The style of his Musselburgh victory and his pedigree suggest that the longer trip should suit, so with further progress to come he can make it 2 from 2 in handicaps. Simply Sondheim could be the main danger as he makes his handicap debut, ahead of Prince Achille who can go well upped in distance.
