Forecasts

Karamoko (7/2), Trongate (4/1), Lastofthecosmics (5/1), Oceanus (5/1), Raymond (11/2), Lough Kent (7/1), Court Baloo (7/1), Southfield Torr (7/1), Gripper (15/2), Southeast Rose (10/1), Lady Samback (12/1), Burlington Bert (28/1)

The first division of this low-grade handicap sees potential improvers in the shape of Raymond, Karamoko and lurking at the foot of the handicap Gripper, but COURT BALOO has far less to prove than any of them and was successful in better company than this last year. This drop in trip is a slight concern but that aside, he has plenty going for him.
