Forecasts

Wonder Smile (7/2), Heathcliff (9/2), Old Chums (5/1), Yellow Pages (11/2), Lieutenant Rascal (8/1), Darroch (17/2), Hello Cotai (14/1), Magic Fluke (14/1), One Cool Dreamer (22/1), Bits And Bobs (28/1), Never Sell (50/1)

A few with chances but LIEUTENANT RASCAL features on a good mark so is taken to get off the mark now stepped up in trip on his polytrack debut. Old Chums is next on the list on the back of his recent Chelmsford City second with handicap debutant Heathcliff also in the mix.
