Forecasts

Classic Maestro (85/40), Bobo Mac (4/1), Richardson (5/1), Barricane (6/1), John W Creasy (9/1), Double Click (12/1), My Girl Katie (18/1), Tara Cove (20/1), Houston Calling (25/1), Invincible De Mee (25/1), Robeam (50/1)

A few with chances but CLASSIC MAESTRO can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent Newcastle second so is hard to oppose. Veteran Bobo Mac also figures on a handy-looking mark and rates the chief threat to Jennie Candlish's 5-y-o, with unexposed duo Houston Calling and Tara Cove not ruled out either in an intriguing handicap.
