Forecasts

Bolly Bullet (11/10), Cold Stare (11/4), Delta River (4/1), Sir Plato (4/1), Miquelon (15/2), Gloves Lynch (11/1), Fieldsman (25/1)

COLD STARE defied a reduced mark at Haydock last time and a small rise is negated by his promising rider's 3 lb claim, so he's worth a chance to follow up with the weekend's rain in his favour. Miquelon could get loose on the front end, so he's a danger, while Sir Plato regularly posts big efforts at this track, so his chance can't be ignored.
