Forecasts

Majeski Man (7/2), Prospect (7/2), High Opinion (9/2), Burj Malinka (13/2), Little Muddy (7/1), Stone Of Destiny (9/1), Good Luck Fox (11/1), Ballyare (16/1), Spoof (20/1), Tantastic (22/1), Van Gerwen (33/1)

A typically competitive sprint handicap. PROSPECT only emptied late on returning at Newcastle last month and, with the benefit of that recent run under his belt, gets the nod ahead of the less-exposed High Opinion. The majority of the field hold some sort of frame claim, with Good Luck Fox perhaps of most interest of the remainder.
