Forecasts

Arlecchino's Rex (15/8), Aspire To Glory (5/2), Hot Frank (7/1), Brother Dave (15/2), Encircle (12/1), Beauen Arrows (12/1), My Mate Beattie (14/1), Dance Recital (22/1), Alyara (28/1)

Verdict

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for ARLECCHINO'S REX who wasn't seen to ideal effect when fifth at Epsom last time and can now capitalise on a reduced mark. Brother Dave is feared most on the back of a resurgent Newcastle third with Aspire To Glory and My Mate Beattie also in the picture.

  1. ARLECCHINO'S REX
  2. BROTHER DAVE
  3. ASPIRE TO GLORY (IRE)
