Forecasts

Uncle Goalie (7/2), Excellent Believe (9/2), Unique Journey (6/1), Eddie G (7/1), City House (7/1), Punica Granatum (10/1), Rahmi (10/1), Headmaster (12/1), Dmaniac (12/1), Temperance (14/1), Love Billy Boy (20/1)

HEADMASTER wasn’t seen to best effect last time, but the return to 7f, a further 2 lb drop and a useful claimer taking over all suggest a bold bid is on the cards. Dmaniac won twice here on heavy ground in March and rates the main danger, with a quick return to his favoured venue likely to suit. Love Billy Boy returns to handicaps in a first-time visor from below his last winning mark and is respected.
