Forecasts

Rolanna (6/4), Sauchiehall Street (9/2), Macho Mover (5/1), Sister Celine (7/1), Pollyissimo (10/1), Livingstones Quest (12/1), Ascot Day (14/1), Ava The Braver (16/1), French Kiss (20/1), Almontaser (25/1), Pack It In (25/1), Karakoram (40/1)

MACHO MOVER has been in great form in recent times and he can get back to winning ways with a victory in the concluding handicap. The selection should appreciate forecast underfoot conditions and can see off Sauchiehall Street who was a winner off this mark on the AW last time. Rolanna looks capable of finishing third on her return to the Flat having won over hurdles last month.
