Forecasts

Mr Strutter (5/2), Al Mansoura (9/2), Poet's Magic (6/1), Stronsay (6/1), Midnite Bride (7/1), Decision Maker (17/2), Round The Island (10/1), Prissy Missy (22/1), Melgate Magic (40/1), Point Of Woods (40/1), Another Bond (40/1)

AL MANSOURA has gone close in both handicaps and may come good now if the addition of cheekpieces enables her to pull out a little more. Mr Strutter was better than the result here last time and is starting to look well treated, while Midnite Bride has been runner-up on both previous starts here.
