Forecasts

Flying Raconteur (11/4), No Dress Rehearsal (7/2), Alfa Dawn (4/1), Lady Scatterley (5/1), Kwanza (8/1), Frankadore (8/1), Howbaar (12/1), Calevade (14/1), Knightly Spirit (20/1), Shakiah (40/1)

A tricky maiden handicap with several arriving in some fair form but slight preference is for LADY SCATTERLEY who travelled best for a long way at Beverley last time and wasn't seen to best effect. Flying Raconteur could appreciate the step up in trip judged on his two runs this season while Frankadore isn't out of this in first-time headgear, particularly if he can get an easy lead. Alfa Dawn also has to enter the reckoning and has to be a player if she comes on for her reappearance here.
