Forecasts

Easter Icon (15/8), Easy Equation (5/1), Smart Boyo (6/1), Fighting Poet (7/1), Boundsy Boy (8/1), Manyana (9/1), Testing Faith (10/1), Steel Helmet (16/1)

Verdict

EASY EQUATION didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Lingfield last time so this C&D winner is taken to emerge on top at the chief expense of Smart Boyo who also wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last time out. Recent C&D second Easter Icon can also have a say in an open handicap.

  1. Easy Equation5/1
  2. Smart Boyo6/1
  3. Easter Icon15/8
