Forecasts

Twilight (3/1), Eva Docc (9/2), Cascella (5/1), Silvington (5/1), Military Madame (11/2), Song Of Summer (7/1), Thunder Buddy (14/1), Jiro Boy (25/1)

TWILIGHT can follow up her third at Thirsk last time out by registering a first career victory in this opening handicap. The seleciton should appreciate the step up in trip here and can get the better of Thunder Buddy who can claim second on handicap debut. Third place can go the way of Military Madame who shaped as if a drop in trip would suit when weakening over further last time.
