Forecasts

The Gloaming (11/4), Blackcurrent (4/1), Isle Of Dreams (11/2), Lord Of The Glen (6/1), Koropick (6/1), Earn Your Stripes (10/1), Stroxx (18/1), Loquacious Boy (25/1), Summer Heights (28/1)

Perhaps THE GLOAMING can get her head back in front returned to a venue which clearly suits her. Koropick is another who goes quite well here and he may give Iain Jardine's filly most to do ahead of Catterick scorer Isle of Dreams.
