Forecasts

Golden Shot (1/1), Eddie The Beagle (7/1), Kitten's Dream (15/2), Chicago Gal (17/2), Just Percy (9/1), Away Wit Da Fairys (11/1), Funky Town Pinkie (12/1), Henry The Fifth (14/1), Nachos Cheese (22/1), Manyana (25/1), Go Beyond (40/1), Arabist (66/1)

GOLDEN SHOT hasn't been seen for 10 months but he has the potential to improve markedly now upped in trip for his handicap debut and a plethora of entries near to hand suggest that connections think he's well treated off 56, so he's worth chancing. The in-form Kitten's Dream is a player and Chicago Gal isn't without hope.
