Forecasts

Manton Road (10/3), Backer Bilk (4/1), Majestic Heights (5/1), Ignition (7/1), Stay Around (8/1), Herkeios (9/1), Boundless Poet (9/1), Unfortunate Heir (11/1), Zadkiel (12/1), Sonic Pioneer (14/1), Latona (22/1), Master Milan (66/1)

BACKER BILK hit the right note at Lingfield last time and can defy a 4 lb weight rise on the back of that idling victory. Herkeios heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Lingfield third, with Boundless Poet and Manton Road also worth considering in this very open handicap.
