Forecasts

Gustav Graves (16/5), Universal Grace (9/2), Coast (11/2), Admirable Lad (15/2), Alfred Cove (15/2), Suanni (9/1), Next Second (10/1), Under Curfew (11/1), Loco Lobo (14/1), Captain Corcoran (33/1), Roys Pursuit (80/1)

LOCO LOBO showed much-improved form on her second start in a handicap when winning at Haydock 7 weeks ago and this lightly-raced 5-y-o can prove that was no fluke with another victory. Under Curfew went close to ending his losing run at Chepstow last time and is 2 lb lower here, so rates a big threat along with Coast, who remains well treated on old form having ended her losing run at Lingfield.
