Forecasts

Professional Widow (11/4), Cassy O (7/2), Sun Hill (9/2), Cisco Disco (6/1), Tommy G (17/2), Red Astaire (17/2), Dulla Bhatti (10/1), Parys Mountain (10/1), Asdaa (11/1), Wotever Next (22/1)

SUN HILL looks the way to go here given he didn't enjoy the rub of the green when an excellent third on his handicap debut at Thirsk and can race off the same mark. In-form top-weight Professional Widow is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Red Astaire.
