Forecasts

Ice Max (11/10), Noo Point (10/3), Charged Up (4/1), Bellarchi (5/1), Beechwood Star (14/1), Empire Of Light (22/1)

Karl Burke is having an outstanding season with his juveniles and ICE MAX is fancied to get back to winning ways on handicap debut having been found out in listed company at Doncaster last month. Bellarchi is another taking a drop in grade so she could well emerge as the main danger, ahead of Charged Up.
