Forecasts

Polar Fleece (10/3), Sharrabang (4/1), Heatherdown Matron (4/1), Zuckerberg (5/1), Billyoakes (7/1), The British Lion (7/1), Red Skye Delight (8/1), Lara Silvia (10/1), Canimar (16/1), Kit's Allanah (18/1), Achill Queen (25/1), Bevsboy (28/1)

SHARRABANG has been in good form under Faye McManoman and is taken to resume winning ways back over 7f. Heatherdown Matron and Polar Fleece are both well-bred 3-y-os from top yards and could be capable of better than they've shown thus far. The British Lion ran well at Southwell on Sunday and has a shout if backing that up.
