Forecasts

Puckle (13/8), Betty Grable (5/2), Molinari (5/1), Lord Torranaga (11/2), Rocket Rod (6/1), Iolani (13/2)

MOLINARI looked in good order for most of the race in the mud at Haydock 3 weeks ago and the return to drying ground coupled with the drop in class makes him interesting. Puckle is sure to be popular chasing a quick-fire hat-trick, while Iolani has won over hurdles since last racing on the level.
