Forecasts

Doubletalk (5/2), Brandaisy (7/2), Loubiere (6/1), Surface To Air (15/2), Whatwouldiknow (17/2), Seahorse Syd (12/1), Brooklyn Express (12/1), Peaceful Protest (14/1), Bellestarr (14/1), Rockinthefreeworld (18/1), Stamper (20/1), Patasola (80/1), Nana's Ancestors (80/1)

BRANDAISY was easy to back but improved plenty on her nursery bow at Haydock and better still can be expected, so she's a confident selection ahead of the lightly-weighted Bellestarr, who also took a step forward for the switch to this company last time. Doubletalk's Thirsk run is easily excused and she also rates as a player on her previous Pontefract effort.
