14/1

Forecasts

Hello Girl (5/2), Point Of Woods (4/1), Shall We Begin (9/2), Suitcase 'n' Taxi (5/1), Spot Lite (6/1), Cuppacoco (14/1), Dancing Mountain (18/1), Racquet (25/1), Monarch Maid (33/1), Legal Tender (50/1)

SUITCASE 'N' TAXI returned to form with a good third last time out and he is taken to register a second C&D victory by taking the concluding race on the card. Spot Lite has been running well in defeat in recent times and he can finish runner-up ahead of top weight Point Of Woods who is penalised for a victory at Doncaster last week.
