Forecasts

Jony Max (13/8), Balkardy (7/2), Lord Bryan (5/1), Nelsons Rock (5/1), Defi D'Oudairies (6/1)

The form of the Ffos Las handicap BALKARDY won in May is working out well (second and third have won since) and he subsequently lost little caste in defeat when beaten under a length by Hell Red on his first crack at this trip in a C&D novice. On that evidence, the 5-y-o remains feasibly treated back in a handicap and he gets the nod ahead of the in-form Jony Max. Nelsons Rock was well adrift of Jony Max here last time, but he is worth another chance given the promise of his chase debut success.
