Forecasts

Sir Roderic (6/1), The Groove (7/1), Met By Moonlight (7/1), Crystal Casque (15/2), John Betjeman (8/1), Little Palaver (10/1), Spring Romance (12/1), Bounty Pursuit (12/1), Field of Vision (16/1), Harry Beau (16/1), Goldino Bello (16/1), Cent Flying (20/1), Red Tycoon (20/1), Incentive (20/1), Pastfact (25/1), Air Of York (66/1), The Lacemaker (66/1), Black Medick (66/1)

A big field and a wide open handicap where BOUNTY PURSUIT, who is well drawn and has strong form fresh, gets a narrow verdict. Spring Romance is still open to further progress in conditions that will suit better while the in-form Little Palaver rates a danger.
