Forecasts

Primo's Comet (5/2), Lady Lade (5/2), Riversway (7/2), Modular Magic (7/2), Mr Beaufort (9/2), Havagomecca (6/1)

PRIMO'S COMET boasts a very good record here and, having performed with credit in a more competitive C&D handicap than this last month, he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. If able to pick up where she left off last season, Riversway will be a big threat, while both Lady Lade and Mr Beaufort are capable of taking a hand in the finish.
