Forecasts

Pearl Eye (9/4), Tremendous Times (7/2), Jo's Rainbow (9/2), Gifted Angel (5/1), Lillistar (5/1), Letaba (13/2), Moush (17/2), Eagle Prince (11/1), Ausdaisia (12/1), Lady Douglas (40/1)

PEARL EYE gained a first turf win here before running a cracker in defeat at Pontefract when conceding first run to the winner so looks the way to go. Handicap-debutant Letaba looks to have better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main threat, although in-form duo Tremendous Times and Lillistar could easily have a say too in an intriguing handicap.
