Forecasts

Rievaulx Raver (3/1), Falcon Nine (4/1), Sir Jock Bennett (5/1), Blueflagflyinghigh (6/1), Nakano (13/2), Cosmos Raj (11/1), Maffeo Barberini (12/1), Flame Spirit (14/1), Western Beat (25/1), Sandret (28/1), Nefyn Dawn (28/1)

Another chance is given to FALCON NINE as he continues to look well treated on the form he showed in an AW maiden last November and the step up to 1¼m should suit on pedigree. Nakano didn't enjoy the rub of the green on her Redcar handicap debut last month and is second choice ahead of Haydock scorer Sir Jock Bennett.
