Forecasts

Old Chums (6/4), Reprised (4/1), Rusheen Boy (4/1), John Steed (13/2), Moyola (15/2), Wren Officer (16/1), Manali (16/1), Kitty Bennet (25/1), Mariamne (28/1), East Bank (40/1), King Street (50/1)

OLD CHUMS is a well-bred sort and took a marked step forward from his exploits in novice/maiden company when making a winning handicap debut over C&D 5 days ago, showing plenty of speed to overcome a wide draw and in command up the straight. He looks a serious player again with the prospect of more to come. Reprised, Wren Officer and Rusheen Boy are others to consider.
