Forecasts

Sir Garfield (4/1), Brazilian Rose (6/1), Abduction (13/2), Rock Melody (13/2), Sacred Falls (7/1), Rock Opera (8/1), Monsieur Kodi (10/1), Cargin Bhui (10/1), Only Spoofing (14/1), Hour By Hour (16/1), Hectic (16/1), Impressor (25/1), Mr Wagyu (33/1), Sweet Thing (33/1), Mersea (66/1)

Jim Goldie can hold sway here and his handily-weighted ABDUCTION is fancied to end a long losing run after catching the eye when a fast-finishing fourth at Musselburgh last time. Stablemate Rock Melody could emerge as the main danger, although a solid case can also be made for Hectic, Rock Opera, Sir Garfield and Sacred Falls in this cracking handicap.
