Forecasts

He's Our Star (11/4), Your Choice (3/1), London (9/2), Cristal Pallas Cat (6/1), Popple (6/1), The Warrior (11/1), Rivas Rob Roy (12/1), Anniemation (16/1), Hibernian Warrior (18/1), Heart Of A Hunter (28/1), Rememberthetitans (66/1), Lucky Face (125/1)

YOUR CHOICE is a long-standing maiden but she's shown signs that her first win may be around the corner since joining Mick Appleby this year. She's taken to strike with the headgear going on for the first time for her current handler. Cristal Pallas Cat is feared most back in handicap company having endured a wide trip at Kempton last time, ahead of He's Our Star.
