Forecasts

Coole Hall (11/4), Milvale (3/1), The Distant Lady (6/1), Taxmeifyoucan (6/1), Blue Hussar (9/1), Rock On Fruity (10/1), Jacks Last Hope (14/1), Chanceanotherfive (16/1), Court Baloo (20/1), Looking Well (28/1), Presence Felt (80/1)

A tight-knit handicap so at the forecast odds it could be worth chancing veteran ROCK ON FRUITY who races mainly over fences nowadays but has been dropped to a handy mark over hurdles and could take advantage for his good yard. Milvale seems sure to build on his reappearance Ayr sixth so warrants plenty of respect along with in-form mare The Distant Lady.
