Forecasts

Final Voyage (3/1), Super Over (10/3), Skontonovski (9/2), Annexation (13/2), Alpha Cru (15/2), Rocky Dreams (17/2), Insomnia (14/1), Akmaam (18/1), Bucky Larson (20/1), Pride Of Pimlico (50/1), Admiral Nelson (100/1)

INSOMNIA is lightly raced and signed off for Richard Spencer with an encouraging run at Lingfield so, back up to a distance that suits, he's worth a chance to make a successful start for his new stable. Bucky Larson, an easy winner of a claimer recently, and Alpha Cru also start out for new yards and make plenty of appeal in an open race.
