Forecasts

Cosmic King (7/4), Buckby Boy (9/2), Bentons Lad (15/2), Western Morning (10/1), Mamoo (10/1), Bardista (10/1), Biscuit (14/1), Lord Getaway (25/1), Franz Klammer (25/1), Oscar Bravo (33/1), Oregon Gold (33/1), Shiroccodee (50/1), Nicheinthemarket (66/1), Earcomestom (66/1)

A race that should not take a whole lot of winning though at the same time it is not one to be dogmatic about with plenty of them seeing handicap action for the first time. Cosmic King would be very interesting if supported and Bardista is probably capable of better this time, with both Mamoo and Oscar Bravo others of interest. Nicheinthemarket has enough form on the board to suggest that she could make an impact and Western Morning is also considered but the suggestion is FRANZ KLAMMER, who ran well until unseating here earlier in the season and his a useful 10lb claim might help tip the scales in his favour.
