Forecasts

Ultramarine (11/4), Redredrobin (3/1), King Of War (4/1), Island Native (6/1), Secret Bid (9/1), Little Boy Blue (12/1), Crazy Luck (14/1)

ULTRAMARINE can race off the same mark as when a very good recent Lingfield second so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of three-time C&D scorer Redredrobin. Island Native and Little Boy Blue can both have a say too in this open handicap.
