Forecasts

Hagia Sophia (9/2), No Speed Limit (11/2), Autumn Flight (6/1), Minhaaj (13/2), Haveagobeau (13/2), Madrinho (15/2), Mr Pc (10/1), Rainbow Sign (11/1), Mcqueen (14/1), Liberty Bay (20/1), Bluebell Way (33/1)

The ex-Irish NO SPEED LIMIT made an encouraging start for George Baker when fifth at Kempton after a lay-off and can build on it here at the chief expense of the handily-weighted McQueen. Lingfield-third Rainbow Sign and the returning Hagia Sophia also need factoring into a very open handicap.
