Forecasts

Raffles Rebel (9/4), King Athelstan (3/1), Big Dutchie (11/2), Sheharz (17/2), Moon Over The Sea (10/1), Peroni (12/1), Harmonious (12/1), Rushmore (16/1), Cable Mountain (20/1), Compass Point (20/1), Turn Of Phrase (66/1)

If KING ATHELSTAN is in the same form as when a close third in a Southwell handicap last month he could take a bit of stopping. Raffles Rebel didn't run too badly in handicap company over 9.5f here last time and could be suited by this trip so he's feared most ahead of Philip Makin's Big Dutchie who has been placed over shorter trips here on his last 2 outings.
