Forecasts

Sergio Leone (13/8), International Man (7/2), Areen Heart (6/1), Firmdecisions (6/1), Kaser (7/1), Etisalat (14/1), Wilson (16/1), Gibeno (16/1), Cheerfilly (25/1), Zafaranah (50/1)

One or two of interest here not least the last time out C&D winner Firmdecisions who despite a 6lb rise for that win still doesn’t look badly treated having won off higher marks in the past. Overall though SERGIO LEONE looks one to keep on the right side of having shown some promise on his handicap debut and that form has been well advertised by the exploits of the first and second since. Etisalat looks as though he will improve for the extra distance and going into handicaps and has scope whilst it would be foolish to write off Kasar despite three short-priced defeats. Areen Heart is likely to flatter to deceive once more unless he can be delivered right on the line.
