Forecasts

Carried With Love (6/4), Dark Note (4/1), Quiz Test (13/2), Final Orders (17/2), Makaiah (10/1), Say It So (11/1), Curious Bride (16/1), The Truant (22/1), Party Dress (25/1), Takarengo (33/1), Evening's Empire (100/1)

Useful jumper FINAL ORDERS should be up to winning on the Flat from a mark in the mid-60s and is preferred to hurdle winner Carried With Love, who is also of interest from a lowly mark on the Flat, particularly now stepping up in trip. Dark Note may prove best of the remainder.
