Forecasts

Russet Gold (11/8), Squealer (3/1), Match Play (4/1), Lakota Blue (6/1), Let's Go Hugo (8/1), Star Of Lady M (11/1), Zuffolo (16/1), Paddy's Day (28/1)

An open handicap so it is worth siding with Roger Varian's RUSSET GOLD, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eleventh at Epsom on his return and can bounce back in style now to capitalise on an attractive mark. Let's Go Hugo arrives in good nick and seems sure to have a say along with recent Haydock scorer Match Play.
