Forecasts

Trust Bertie (2/1), Crypto Quest (5/2), Liv Lucky (5/2), Makhan King (10/1), Lunasa (16/1), Emerald Lady (18/1)

TRUST BERTIE has run creditably when finishing third on his last 2 starts and he can take advantage of this drop back in grade to gain his first win of the year. The 3-y-o finished well over 5f at Pontefract last time, so he can build on that effort with the return to 6f to suit. Crypto Quest got back on track on his latest outing and is feared most ahead of Liv Lucky.
