Forecasts

Georgie Wooster (3/1), Howard's Choice (7/2), Bay Of Australia (9/2), Angel Of The Bay (5/1), Havana Prince (13/2), Bellasio (13/2), Salamanca Lad (9/1), Curious Mrs Fox (9/1), Due Consideration (12/1), Papagrey (33/1)

GEORGIE WOOSTER took a big step forward when making a winning handicap bow at Redcar and the amount in hand he had that day suggests he can defy a 7 lb rise. Angel of The Bay was also much improved making his handicap debut when second at the same track and is feared most ahead of Howard's Choice.
