Forecasts

Final Night (9/4), Bretton Wood (5/2), Pretty Spirited (5/1), Toby's Time (7/1), Amber Honey (15/2), Seconds Count (15/2), Beta Reader (14/1), Jack Andrea (20/1), Prima Diva (33/1), Papa Oscar (50/1)

BRETTON WOOD made an encouraging start for Jack Channon when fourth at Ffos Las recently and can build on it now and capitalise on a handy-looking mark to secure his first success. Pretty Spirited is feared most on the back of her Leicester victory, with Toby's Time and Seconds Count also in the mix in this open handicap.
