Forecasts

Largy Force (2/1), Empty Nest (5/1), Roger Rarebit (11/2), Park Talk (11/2), Ceolwulf (6/1), Onesoc (10/1), Flash Du Pistolet (16/1), Frisby (22/1)

A notably competitive handicap for the grade with FLASH DU PISTOLET receiving the tentative vote having returned to form with a good second at Ayr recently, while leaving the impression the run would put him spot on. Empty Nest and Largy Force are a couple of others who seem likely to go well.
