Forecasts

Ey Up It's Maggie (7/2), Mattice (9/2), Count D'Orsay (9/2), Rodborough (6/1), Sound Reason (13/2), Digital (8/1), May Blossom (10/1), Star Of Lady M (10/1), Prospect (12/1), Motawaazy (16/1)

RODBOROUGH responded well to this headgear when winning at Southwell on her last 2 starts and looks up to completing the hat-trick if proving as good on turf. Sound Reason has disappointed since scoring over C&D in July but is only 1 lb above his last winning mark, while Count d'Orsay has been shaping well of late.
