Forecasts

Burj Malinka (5/4), Giselles Izzy (4/1), The Gay Blade (6/1), Corinthia Knight (13/2), Gentle Ellen (10/1), Mark's Choice (12/1), Object (20/1), Dodgy Bob (40/1)

BURJ MALINKA's 3 career wins have all come at this track, including when having 2 lengths to spare over this trip last week, and can defy a 5 lb penalty. Gentle Ellen and Giselles Izzy head the dangers.
