Forecasts

Myristica (2/1), Fairmac (9/4), Freak Out (6/1), Qaasid (7/1), Athmad (9/1), Billy Roberts (10/1), Carey Street (14/1), Zihaam (28/1)

MYRISTICA was just about better than ever when a decisive winner at Ripon a weeks ago and on that evidence he can shrug off a 5 lb penalty in what is a similar band of handicap. Fairmac wasn't seen to best effect in a different race on the same card and he needs treating as though still in form. with Athmad another to consider at longer odds.
