Forecasts

Prayer Matt (2/1), Bonita B (3/1), Imperial Khan (10/3), Ballistic Berry (11/2), Tiberio Smile (17/2), Dream Deal (28/1), Arriannie (200/1)

BALLISTIC BERRY showed improved form on her handicap debut (in 1st-time cheekpieces) when runner-up at Musselburgh and she can build on that effort to go one better this time around. Imperial Khan could be the main danger after getting back on track on his latest start, ahead of Prayer Matt for Tim Easterby.
