Forecasts

Historic City (11/8), Ashariba (3/1), Al Ameed (7/2), High Point (9/1), New Kings Road (16/1), Curran (20/1)

ASHARIBA looks to have more to offer stepping up in trip so is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise for her recent Chelmsford success and garner a third victory of 2024. Al Ameed appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so rates the main threat ahead of in-form pair Historic City and New Kings Road.
