Forecasts

Up The Anti (9/4), Freedom Bay (3/1), Borderline Madness (3/1), Garibaldi Memory (9/2), Yellow Dream (8/1), Clipsham Noble (9/1)

CLIPSHAM NOBLE knuckled down well at the business end to see off a subsequent winner at Brighton 12 days ago and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Up The Anti ought to remain competitive back at 1m, while Freedom Bay has shaped with some encouragement on both handicap starts to date and remains unexposed.
