Forecasts

Midnight Jitterbug (5/2), Bolister (3/1), Itsonlyrocknroll (7/2), Golden Cannon (5/1), Venetian Proposal (9/1), Passing Dream (11/1), Harbour Force (20/1), Another Go (25/1)

BOLLISTER represents a good local yard and he can register a victory in this competitive looking handicap hurdle. The selection has run some good races in defeat in recent times and he can see off his rivals here with top weight Itsonlyrocknroll capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Midnight Jitterbug who is seeking a first victory.
