Forecasts

Captain Howse (11/5), Janus (11/4), Rita Rana (7/2), Cavendish (11/2), All About Alice (12/1), Libbretta (14/1), Wannabe Betsy (25/1), Clonsilla Rose (50/1), Doyouknowmyuncles (80/1)

CAPTAIN HOWSE improved for blinkers when second against other 3yos at Bath on handicap debut and, now in open company, he can go one better at the likely expense of fellow 3yo Rita Rana, who has been running consistently well of late. Last-time-out winner Janus should also come under consideration.
