Forecasts

Crack Ops (7/4), Barry Fife (11/4), Galway Reel (10/3), Getuptheyard (8/1), Country Mouse (12/1), Dexperado (16/1), Pepite De Saphir (33/1)

It might be worth chancing the returning PEPITE DE SAPHIR on her handicap debut for new trainer Rebecca Menzies, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. The booking of Sean Bowen suggests Galway Reel could be ready to roll after a break and he's second choice ahead of Crack Ops.
