Forecasts

Chips And Rice (1/1), Mrembo (4/1), Forward Flight (5/1), Giovanni Baglione (11/2), Queen's Company (7/1), Ermin Street (9/1), How Hard Can It Be (20/1)

CHIPS AND RICE came up short when sent off favourite for a Kempton handicap recently but that was a stronger race than this and she is taken to regain the winning thread. James Fanshawe's charge may have most to fear from Ermin Street, who looks dangerous off this career-low mark, for all that he needs to bounce back following a low-key display at Newbury. Mrembo hit the target last time and is respected up 3 lb, while Forward Flight should also have a part to play.
