Forecasts

Eight Of Diamonds (9/4), Ham And Jam (11/4), Buxted Reel (3/1), Stormbreaker (17/2), The Residencies (12/1), Pyrrhic Dancer (16/1), Knight's Gambit (22/1), Dicktate (25/1), Clonsilla Rose (33/1)

Having scored at Lingfield in April, EIGHT OF DIAMONDS was unlucky not to follow up at Bath 17 days ago, so he's taken to gain compensation at the likely expense of Buxted Reel, who arrives on the up. Stormbreaker looks the pick of the handicap debutants.
