Forecasts

Sands Chorus (2/1), Menin Gate (3/1), Gabrials Boy (13/2), Frankly Mr Shankly (7/1), Dream Chaser (9/1), Mr Coco Bean (12/1), Dance King (14/1), Florenza (20/1), Great Colaci (40/1)

MENIN GATE was a ready winner under Brodie Hampson on his last visit to Redcar in October and gets the vote after a pleasing return at Haydock. Mr Coco Bean was perhaps unlucky not to add to his tally here last month and is a big player for a new yard. Sands Chorus is 3-3 here this year and could go well again.
