Forecasts

Rhubarb (13/8), The Cola Kid (4/1), Jacquelina (11/2), Therehegoes (10/1), Ellie Piper (10/1), Silver Diva (12/1), Q Twenty Boy (12/1), Coronation Cottage (16/1), Mashaan (20/1)

JACQUELINA was an excellent second on her handicap bow at Bath last week and can go one better. Rhubarb only just failed to add a fourth C&D win last month so is the obvious threat, while The Cola Kid is lurking on a dangerous mark.
