Forecasts

Bow Street (7/2), Snow Creek (4/1), Francis Drake (4/1), Startling (7/1), Azuinthejungle (17/2), Captain Pickles (17/2), Sun Keeper (14/1), Andalprofit (16/1), Hidden Verse (18/1)

FRANCIS DRAKE took a big step forward on his handicap debut when an excellent Lingfield runner-up and with that form having been franked he can go one better now. In-form C&D scorer Bow Street is next on the list ahead of Sun Keeper and Startling.
