Forecasts

Anthracite (13/8), Man Oh Man (7/2), Answer That (5/1), No Mean Feat (8/1), Jacquetta (17/2), Scoresby (10/1), Rapid Mission (10/1), Mystical Mabel (12/1), Callero (16/1)

RAPID MISSION hinted at a revival when fourth at Chepstow last time and is weighted to gain a breakthrough victory off a 2 lb lower mark here. The lightly-raced Mystical Mabel is feared most on just her second go in handicap company ahead of Anthracite and Answer That.
