Forecasts

Savvy Warrior (11/4), Berry Clever (3/1), Marching Mac (7/2), Beechwood Star (17/2), Chatty (9/1), Cuban Harry (14/1), Sir Garfield (14/1), Inspiring Speeches (16/1), Louella (16/1), Vintage Love (28/1), Locomotive (50/1), Wadacre Icarus (50/1)

CHATTY was an eyecatcher on his reappearance and is taken to build on that promise from a handy inside draw. Berry Clever shaped well from further back than ideal at Newmarket last time and is second choice ahead of Marching Mac, who made a good start to his handicap career at Brighton recently.
