Forecasts

Without Delay (7/4), Highland Queen (10/3), Stoney Lane (7/2), Elettaria (7/2), Wrenegade Lad (7/1), Stop On Red (9/1), Moon Friend (22/1), Crown Bridges (25/1), Tidewell (25/1), Miss Snuggles (66/1)

HIGHLAND QUEEN was worn down by Elettaria at Carlisle last week but she shaped very well on that occasion and from 5 lb better terms, she's strongly fancied to reverse the placings. A bigger threat may emerge in the form of Without Delay.
