Forecasts

Nina The Terrier (11/8), Runwiththetide (6/4), Mondora (15/2), Doireann (9/1), Mansoline (10/1), My Keepsake (16/1), Whenthepennydrops (20/1), Familiar Spirit (33/1), Elusive Polly (100/1)

NINA THE TERRIER looked potentially useful when making a winning hurdling debut at Warwick in May and can put her jumping experience to good use and defy a penalty. Mansoline and My Keepsake are respected on their bumper form, while point-winner Runwiththetide looks a likely type for Dan Skelton.
