Forecasts

Joysunny (15/8), Percy Toplis (9/2), Sir Harry Collins (9/2), Sadieroseclifford (6/1), Glam'selle (8/1), Popsilca (10/1), Seneca Chief (12/1), Mesmeric Moment (14/1), Artsteelwork (16/1), Sweet Amazement (20/1), Violet Mist (20/1), Tess Graham (25/1)

The card ends with another modest and unappealing contest with very few having any solid and progressive handicap form. JOYSUNNY has to prove that she is suited by AW surfaces but her run at Catterick last time was a significant step forward and she gets a tentative vote here. Sadieroseclifford could be on the way back with Popsilca looking as though she might be able to revive over a trip that looks by far her best.
