Forecasts

Parramount (9/4), Obsidian Knight (9/4), Fearless Bay (13/2), The Colorist (7/1), A Gift Of Love (10/1), Buxted Too (14/1), Dorset Lady (14/1), Rockit Tommy (18/1), Luna Effect (22/1)

OBSIDIAN KNIGHT wasn't seen to best effect when a keen-going seventh under an amateur at Newbury last time out and is fancied to resume winning ways with Tom Marquand now taking over. Parramount arrives in good order and is next on the list on his first go on polytrack, with Buxted Too and Fearless Bay also in the picture.
