Forecasts

Ryedale Racer (2/1), Beyondtemptation (9/2), Blunder Buss (5/1), Kalaharry (5/1), Stoney Rover (6/1), Desert Island Dusk (7/1), Pistol (8/1), Kick On Dottie (8/1), Near Kettering (10/1)

Not many of these that you can write off easily but it’s the bottom weight NEAR KETTERING who holds the most fascination for a yard who know how to get one ready for a handicap debut and based on his Flat form he’s on a very attractive mark. Ryedale Racer and Kalaharry have form that relates back to their novice days and both of those have a part to play here along with course specialist Desert Island Dusk who can never be left out of the equation at a track that suits him well. Brian Hughes being back on Blunder Buss is seen as a positive and any positive market vibes should be noted.
