Forecasts

Our Little Pony (7/2), Ghost (9/2), Milton Road (9/2), Viking Way (8/1), Gorgeous General (9/1), Gullane One (10/1), Shortbackandsides (10/1), Dyson's Girl (10/1), Jazz Magic (20/1), Angie B (33/1), The Gingerbreadman (50/1), Your Just Desserts (66/1)

GHOST can go one better than when finishing runner-up on both of her previous starts this season by taking this competitive looking sprint handicap. The selection sets the standard on form and can get the better of Our Little Pony who should appreciate the return to this trip. Carlisle third Gorgeous General is improving with racing and he can finish third.
