Forecasts

Markov (8/13), Captain Buck's (7/4), Lord Bryan (6/1), Rouge Devils (10/1)

MARKOV can gain due reward for some consistent efforts in handicaps by breaking his duck now back in a novices' contest, where the weights look to be in his favour. Captain Buck's looks to be the pick of the Nicholls-trained pair the way that this race is framed, while you couldn't rule out either Rouge Devils or Lord Bryan, though they looks the less likely pair on paper.
