Forecasts

Nigg Bay (2/1), Handytalk (5/2), Smokey Lane (4/1), Secondo (9/2), Kinglami (11/2), Englishman (8/1), Blaine (9/1)

Ruling any of this lot out would be churlish and an open heat should ensue. Last time out winners Nigg Bay and Secondo are entitled to remain very competitive while Blaine is showing signs he'll soon capitalise on a reduced handicap mark. Handytalk is running well and gets a visor to try and improve his hopes but ENGLISHMAN's recent Lingfield third was his best showing of the season and he could take this from his current mark, with the 7lb claim of in-form William Carver further aiding his bid.
