Forecasts

Hooflepuff (3/1), Pop Favorite (16/5), Well Prepared (9/2), Must Be An Angel (11/2), Broughtons Chief (10/1), Aussie Rascal (16/1), No Diggity (16/1), Deftera Lad (18/1), Havana Dawn (25/1), Ruby Ribbons (25/1), City Wanderer (33/1), Final Attack (66/1), Lilandra (66/1)

Everything panned out smoothly for HOOFLEPUFF when returning to winning ways here 12 days ago, but he ran well again off his revised mark at Thirsk on Monday and another bold showing is anticipated. Must Be An Angel is respected on the pick of her form this season setting out for a new yard, while Pop Favorite could easily bounce back from a below-par run at Lingfield.
