Forecasts

Alshibaa (13/8), Valley of Rocks (4/1), Daring Guest (5/1), Pioneering (7/1), Dreamofdiscovery (8/1), Duchess Of Fife (9/1), Northdown (11/1), Channel Packet (12/1), Prince Of Clappers (20/1)

Hardly the most inspiring of contests with no real obvious overly progressive types and it may well prove to be the sort of race where it is worth taking a chance on one of the handicap debutantes in PIONEERING who showed promise last time out. Alshibaa looks capable of making some progress if the move back to a mile suits while Valley Of Rocks is surely capable of better if learning to settle. Channel Packet is worth keeping an eye on in the market with Prince Of Clappers another who enters the equation in an open contest.
