Forecasts
Pistol Park (8/13), Wolf Sword (13/8), Clan Legend (3/1), Vengeur De Guye (7/1), Rathlin (11/1)
Pistol Park and Wolf Sword are both very much respected at different ends of the weights in this, though the suggestion is that CLAN LEGEND may return to form now back in a handicap after finding it too hot at Ayr last time. Vengeur De Guye is inconsistent but cannot be totally dismissed.
1. Clan Legend
2. Wolf Sword
3. Pistol Park
