Forecasts

Feel The Pinch (11/8), Icarat (7/2), Heritier (6/1), Risk D'Argent (6/1), Chti Balko (13/2), Thunderclap (13/2), John Betjeman (8/1), Polyphonic (14/1), Transatlantic (33/1)

A competitive race. FEEL THE PINCH really has discovered the winning habit for this stable and may be able to go in again if over his exertions at Ludlow on Monday. Sedgefield maiden winner Thunderclap looks on a good opening handicap mark in this sphere if ready to roll after a break and is second choice ahead of Risk d'Argent. Icarat is a handicap newcomer to note in the betting, while Heritier is also worth a look.
