Forecasts

Motagally (11/8), Chil Chil (9/4), Delagate This Lord (6/1), Walk On Walter (11/1), Open Wide (11/1), Princess Power (16/1)

CHIL CHIL's run of progressive form came to an end when only fifth at Salisbury but she is well worth another chance to show herself a useful sprinter here back on this faster surface. Delagate This Lord is always to be respected round here so rates the main threat with fellow C&D winner Motagally not dismissed either.
