Forecasts

Storm Ahead (7/4), G K Chesterton (5/2), Red Tea (4/1), Moonlightnavigator (11/2), Calvados Spirit (6/1), Takatul (8/1), Replenish (9/1), Truth Or Dare (12/1)

A competitive handicap with a nice betting shape to it and form that should pay to follow with a few that come here in good form. Although she won well last time out the rise in the handicap might just prove a little too much for Red Tea although she should get much closer to Calvados Sprit this time after that pair met at Wolverhampton. Storm Ahead still looks on the upgrade after his Newbury run in the Spring Cup with Replenish a definite player if he can transfer his AW form to turf. Of the bigger prices Truth Or Dare looks dangerously well handicapped now but with connections keeping G K CHESTERTON in training and given the promise he showed at Nottingham against some progressive types he has to be given the nod here.
