Forecasts

King Sharja (2/1), Alice's Impact (10/3), Elettaria (9/2), Rum Runner (6/1), Big Blue Boy (13/2), Desert Dream (8/1), Chat Up Line (14/1), Back From Dubai (28/1), Cherry Tree Dawn (150/1)

A trappy handicap in which BIG BLUE BOY is taken to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and gain his first success. Recent C&D scorer King Sharja could emerge as the main danger ahead of Alice's Impact, Desert Dream and Elettaria.
