Forecasts

Blackisthenewblack (6/4), Boilermaker (7/2), Caraway (6/1), Raven's View (8/1), Faeberon (10/1), Gemical (14/1), Sweet Love (16/1), Manbearpig (16/1), Jambearee (25/1), Due To Shine (33/1), My Dad Frank (50/1)

Verdict

BLACKISTHENEWBLACK should have more to offer on the back of her Kempton success and can defy a 6 lb rise for Andrew Balding. Boilermaker shaped quite encouragingly on his Yarmouth handicap debut and can build on that and provide the main threat ahead of the William Haggas-trained Caraway.
