Forecasts

Leading Times (5/4), Donald (6/4), Rikissa (7/2), Harry Mole (25/1), Optimistic (100/1), Lady Of Killarney (100/1)

Verdict

LEADING TIMES overcame inexperience when justifying market confidence at Southwell on debut 6 weeks ago and can defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Donald is getting better with each run so is next best ahead of Rikissa, who responded well to cheekpieces last time but is not sure to relish this drop in trip.
