Forecasts

Hold The Press (3/1), Essme (16/5), Kodi Noir (4/1), Lord Clenaghcastle (7/1), Al Tarmaah (8/1), Ajrad (17/2), My Kind Of Girl (11/1), My Sand Boy (18/1)

HOLD THE PRESS has a win and good second to show from his last 2 outings over this C&D and is taken to get his head back in front. Wednesday's Kempton third Essme may give him most to do ahead of Tony Carroll's My Kind of Girl, who tackles 7f for the first time this afternoon.
