Forecasts

Another Abbot (3/1), Cindy Lou Who (10/3), The Thames Boatman (13/2), Charlie Mason (15/2), Gold Star Hero (9/1), Glamour Show (10/1), Mumayaz (11/1), Spanish Star (16/1), Abate (16/1), Way To Dubai (20/1), Captain Kinsella (25/1), Ziggy's Ariel (33/1), Honour Your Dreams (50/1)

CINDY LOU WHO bagged her second victory of 2025 at Windsor last time and is taken to overcome a 4 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of recent Lingfield scorer Abate. Charlie Mason, Spanish Star and Mumayaz all need factoring into this open handicap too.
