Forecasts

Escarpment (13/8), Penelope's Sister (5/2), Crystal Guard (16/5), Peripeteia (4/1), Trailblazer (13/2), Our Noble Lord (9/1), Odd Venture (12/1), Star Of Markinch (125/1)

PENELOPE'S SISTER took her form up a level when getting off the mark at Hamilton and can make light of a 5 lb penalty here. Beverley runner-up Escarpment is next on the list, with Crystal Guard also worthy of respect.
