Forecasts

Captain Howse (11/8), Love Poems (4/1), Estrela Star (15/2), Chicago Gal (8/1), King Of The Kippax (9/1), Greenscape (11/1), Easter Icon (12/1), Capla Blue (33/1), Ulysses (125/1)

CAPTAIN HOWSE got off the mark in taking style on his first go over 2m at Wolverhampton last time and can make light of a 3 lb rise here. Greenscape should ensure Sir Mark Prescott's improving stayer doesn't have things all his own way though on her first go at this distance, while in-form duo Love Poems and Easter Icon should be on the premises too in a competitive handicap.
