Forecasts

Miss Gitana (5/4), Tailorman (10/3), Implacable (11/2), Beggarman (12/1), Cherry Cola (14/1), Russian Rumour (16/1), Wahoo King (20/1), Dovena (22/1), Pop The Champagne (25/1), Hidden Pearl (25/1), Nadim (33/1), Masterdream (40/1), Cochin (200/1)

BEGGARMAN failed to last home when fifth over 2m at Lingfield last time so is worth another chance to confirm himself on a lenient mark dropped back in trip here. Miss Gitana heads the list of dangers on the back of her Doncaster success, although the lightly-raced Implacable and 2022 victor Hidden Pearl are also well in the mix in this open handicap.
