Forecasts

Sparkling River (6/5), Indian Native (11/4), Deja Bougg (7/2), Lutece (7/1), Kaspian Tern (8/1), Amour D'Or (25/1)

There's every chance that SPARKLING RIVER is going to be allowed an easy lead again today, and that may well prove decisive in a race that asks a few questions of the others. She won well at Warwick and although the yard seem to specialise in getting them ready for handicaps first time up, that doesn't mean she can't follow up today. Kaspian Tern is risky, having blown out completely last time , but she was improving steadily before that and if the tongue tie does the trick, she can get in the money. Indian Native can stay on best of the rest for third. 1. Sparkling River 2. Kaspian Tern 3. Indian Native
