Forecasts

Rose Barton (5/2), Sayifyouwill (9/2), Penguin Island (5/1), Meydan Rose (6/1), Canoodled (7/1), Helvetique (11/1), Crystal Casque (12/1), Loquace (18/1), Karuoka (25/1), Keeping Hoping (40/1), Magnifique (50/1), Blitz Spirit (66/1), Albus Anne (80/1)

A few with chances, but ROSE BARTON made a promising start to life in handicaps when runner-up at Leicester and is weighted to go one better off just a 1 lb higher mark. Lightly-raced Penguin Island also has better days ahead of her in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Canoodled and Meydan Rose.
