Forecasts

Carlo Du Berlais (5/2), Captain Tommy (3/1), Reserve Tank (3/1), Easkey Lad (4/1), Mr Mafia (11/2), Favori De Sivola (17/2), Pottlerath (12/1)

It could just be worth siding with RESERVE TANK who cashed in off his much-reduced mark when ending a lengthy losing run at Market Rasen back in June and he comes here remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on his old form. Low-mileage improver Carlo du Berlais can emerge as the lead threat.
