Forecasts

Jer Batt (5/4), Dream For Gold (7/4), Desert Cop (6/1), The Thames Boatman (13/2), Rose King (15/2), Great State (16/1), Dickieburd (33/1), Match Play (50/1), Raven's Up (66/1), Rock Girl (80/1), Omniqueen (100/1), Lily In The Jungle (150/1)

JER BATT left his previous form well behind when making a winning debut for David & Nicola Barron over C&D last month and looks the sort to make his mark in handicaps. He is preferred to Dream For Gold and Rose King in what looks a competitive contest.
