Forecasts

Golden Passport (3/1), Restrict (4/1), Little Edi (4/1), Gulmarg (4/1), Berkshire Phantom (6/1), Kitai (10/1), Lakota Blue (18/1)

GOLDEN PASSPORT looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so Ed Walker's progressive colt can make light of his lay-off at the chief expense of Restrict, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Ready C&D scorer Little Edi is another who can have a say in an intriguing handicap.
