Forecasts

Tiger Beetle (7/2), Sugarloaf Lenny (7/2), Pledge Of Honour (4/1), Clear Storm (9/2), Ardbraccan (6/1), Fools Rush In (9/1), Chilled Out (10/1), Fun Loving (11/1), Palazzo Persico (16/1), Eagle Eyed Tom (20/1), Supposedtobe (20/1)

ARDBRACCAN was runner-up to a subsequent winner at Doncaster on his penultimate run and left the impression that the step back up in trip would suit when a staying-on fifth at Pontefract last time, so she's fancied to get back to winning ways with a promising apprentice taking over. Last-time-out winner Pledge of Honour is a danger and Palazzo Persico is worthy of consideration having shaped well in first-time blinkers last time.
