Forecasts

Profiteer (6/4), Calafrio (11/4), The Bobster (6/1), Inspiring Speeches (7/1), Sir Garfield (15/2), Last Applause (15/2), Arlington (16/1), Dandy Lichious (25/1), Lady Phoebe (33/1), Joons Dream (40/1)

PROFITEER upped his game and showed a good attitude to score at Thirsk last time so, for all that he's faced with softer conditions, he's capable of going in again at the possible expense of Calafrio, who ran well in the first division of that race. The Bobster is one to keep an eye on in the betting switched to handicaps for the first time.
