Forecasts

Ange Des Malberaux (13/8), Comely (3/1), Lough Salt (4/1), Doctor Thea (10/1), Lady Markby (14/1), Desert Retreat (14/1), Raid Stane (20/1), Grey Monk (25/1), Jesse Jude (33/1)

COMELY represents a leading yard and with improvement likely she can make a winning return from a break by taking this staying handicap hurdle. Ange Des Malberaux can continue his good run of form by taking second place ahead of Desert Retreat who is making his return to handicaps.
