Forecasts

Queensland Boy (4/5), Purnika (10/3), Jimmy Mark (4/1), Eight Fifteen (8/1), Commission (17/2), Surrey Charm (14/1), Dalatara (14/1), Winnaretta (80/1)

QUEENSLAND BOY progressed again on handicap bow when a close sixth at Leicester 3 weeks ago, doing very well to get as close as he did from a poor position, and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Jimmy Mark can follow the selection home.
