BETTING FORECAST:

RACE SUMMARY:
AL KHERB has been threatening to come good of late and this looks a good opportunity for John Quinn’s charge, who is 2lb lower than when runner-up in a slightly higher grade at Market Rasen last month. A similar remark applies to Throckley and he is next on the list, albeit only marginally as the in-form Pateen commands respect and Two Blondes will also be a threat if on-song.
