Forecasts

Plunger (6/4), Dragon's Teeth (2/1), Heavenly Pulse (9/2), Kodiac Express (7/1), Red For Danger (8/1), Quick Skips Lad (12/1), Afterthisone (50/1)

Of the three horses who have raced before Quick Skips Lad probably has the best chance but in truth his claims look far from rock solid, though at least he did manage to come on for a fair debut at Doncaster during the Lincoln meeting when last seen in France. However it looks like it will pay to side with a newcomer and KODIAC EXPRESS is the most interesting. This daughter of Kodiac has an interesting pedigree, being out of an Exceed and Excel mare, and though an extra furlong or two may bring out the best in her with time, this is a novice event that may not take much winning. Plunger has plenty of speed in his pedigree and could be next best.
