Forecasts

East India Dock (10/3), Budding (10/3), Papagei (5/1), Miss Gitana (11/2), Honrado (15/2), Inappropriate (8/1), Standbackandlook (12/1), Mon Etoile (22/1), Jaunty Dancer (200/1)

A race where the betting could prove informative as several of these have the profiles of likely improvers. PAPAGEI is taken to build on his promising handicap debut third at Newcastle but there are plenty of potential improvers in this sphere in opposition so strong market moves for the likes of Budding, Miss Gitana, East India Dock and Honrado would put a slightly different slant on things.
