Forecasts

Cherry Cola (11/4), Milldean Panther (7/2), Ever Rock (5/1), Delagate The Lady (7/1), Lincoln Spirit (8/1), Not So Shy (10/1), Gregarious Girl (12/1), Yfenni (20/1), Bridlemere Court (20/1), Scenic Lady (25/1), Tintern Spirit (33/1)

This low-grade 3yo handicap will take no winning whatsoever. Mildean Panther upped his game considerably at Wolverhampton last month when finishing third to Rock Bottom and could well relish this extra furlong. Lincoln Spirit is another who could prove far more effective over a longer trip, but the safest advice is to opt for CHERRY COLA. She showed definite promise on her AW debut and return to action from a near six-month absence at Kempton last week and looks perfectly capable of reversing placings with Delegate The Lady (finished second).
