Verdict

FORECASTER came up short when odds-on favourite over track and trip a week ago. But that is still the best recent form on offer and Michael Bell’s filly gets another chance in this modest company. Patanjali is usually thereabouts though her earlier success at Yarmouth came over a shorter trip while Rockliffe remains 7lb higher than his course and distance success back in May. Limonata and Hereward The Wake go handicapping for the first time today and may finish closer.
