Forecasts

Strangerontheshore (3/1), Bawaader (9/2), Come On Linda (11/2), Elusive Heights (7/1), Listen Again (7/1), Perfect Soldier (7/1), The Mackem Missile (11/1), Galeophobia (16/1), Deconso (33/1), Rose Of Lancashire (33/1), Little Gem (66/1), Lady Artela (100/1)

STRANGERONTHESHORE proved as good as ever when just failing at Hamilton 17 days ago, and with the front pair a good way clear of a subsequent winner back in third, she looks well worth siding with to go one better. Come On Linda is entitled to come on for her recent run, so needs considering in first-time blinkers, while Listen Again is not without hope if rediscovering her best form.
