Forecasts

Roman Bull (9/4), Turf Range (3/1), S'all Good Man (13/2), Emperor Of Silk (7/1), Dalvey (10/1), Ghumama (10/1), Wild Shot (14/1), Halcyon Spirit (14/1), Bring Us Paradise (22/1)

In an open-looking handicap a chance is taken on top weight DALVEY who is feasibly treated on the pick of his form this winter and certainly knows where the winning post is here. Last-time-out C&D 1-2 Turf Range and Roman Bull head the dangers.
