Forecasts

Thomas Lanfiere (5/2), Nibras Shadow (7/2), Come On Linda (11/2), Bawaader (6/1), Paddy Elliott (13/2), Risaalaat (13/2), Stand Free (11/1), Hildenley (12/1), Van Dijk (14/1), Divine Connection (16/1), City Wanderer (22/1), Boy In The Bar (33/1), The Mackem Torpedo (40/1), Diyari (40/1)

HILDENLEY has caught the eye on his qualifying runs and looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind. His opening mark of 59 looks workable and he should be able to progress on his handicap debut. Nibras Shadow ran well here last month and she looks a big danger. Divine Connection is one of several with each-way claims.
