Forecasts

Elvetham (11/8), Balmerino (9/4), Scarriff (9/2), Gonnae No Dae That (5/1), Lang Toon Lad (25/1)

BALMERINO left his previous efforts behind when second on his handicap bow at Ayr last week and is fancied to go one better off the same mark with further improvement on the cards. Elvetham and Scarriff can battle for minor honours.
