Forecasts

West Orchard (11/4), Amalfi Skyline (3/1), Shesupincourt (9/2), Counteract (9/2), Has Troke (5/1), Simon The Seagull (9/1), Approaching Storm (11/1), Fravanco (12/1), Miss Jaffa Cake (50/1)

Nearly half of these are out of the weights in this low-grade handicap, with WEST ORCHARD given the very tentative nod. Has Troke is easing towards his last winning mark so is a threat, while it will be interesting to see whether Chris Gordon can rekindle Counteract's enthusiasm after a long time off.
