Forecasts

Papas Girl (11/4), Bernard Spierpoint (3/1), Cometh The Man (9/2), You're Cool (5/1), Lethal Angel (17/2), Cool Spirit (12/1), Nacho (16/1), Gossip (20/1), Raabeh (28/1), Hurricane Alert (250/1)

LETHAL ANGEL has won twice over the minimum trip on the all-weather and she can be forgiven her disappointing start for this yard over 7f at Wolverhampton last month. Down at this level, she makes plenty of appeal. Bernard Spierpoint has caught the winning bug of late having been a long-standing maiden and is a definite danger. You're Cool has place claims, too.
