Forecasts

Merry Mistress (5/2), Will Victory (11/4), La Renommee (7/2), Sashenka (5/1), Midnight Mary (13/2), Tequila Blaze (15/2), Brown Bullet (9/1), Peltwell (14/1)

TEQUILA BLAZE is quickly reverted to hurdles having fallen on her chasing debut and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of recent Sedgefield scorer Will Victory. Sahenka appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
