Forecasts

Sir Garfield (2/1), Inanna (10/3), Moyola (6/1), Belsito (15/2), Iris Dancer (8/1), Ramon Di Loria (8/1), Jump The Gun (9/1), Taygar (14/1), Glendown (14/1), Dwindling Funds (25/1), Northfield Lake (28/1), Deputy (33/1), Jannas Journey (80/1)

SIR GARFIELD rates the pick of these weights racing off the same mark as when a very good Carlisle second a week ago so looks the way to go. Inanna heads the list of dangers on the back of a solid Ayr fifth, although Ramon Di Loria, Moyola, Taygar and Northfield Lake need factoring into this open handicap too.
