Forecasts

Lockdown Lass (11/8), Mereside Pearl (7/2), Zoom Star (5/1), Quercus (11/2), Firmdecisions (6/1), Kolossus (10/1), Burtonwood (10/1), Raspberry (12/1), Suntory Star (20/1), Sparkling Diamond (25/1), Odd Socks Havana (40/1), Sheila's Legacy (40/1), Cock A Hoop (66/1), Picks Pinta (100/1), The Saddle Rock (100/1)

A race contested largely by uninteresting/exposed sorts, so handicap-debutante MERESIDE PEARL could be the way to go having taken a sizeable step forward at Doncaster last time. Fellow 3-y-o Lockdown Lass is respected back down in class, with Burtonwood and Kolossus others to bear in mind.
