Forecasts

El Hibri (9/4), Urban Dandy (11/2), The Nail Gunner (6/1), Kitbag (13/2), Come On Girl (8/1), Astrophysics (17/2), Dapper Man (10/1), Ustath (12/1), Billian (14/1), Dyed In The Wool (14/1), Broxi (40/1), Phoenix Glow (66/1)

THE NAIL GUNNER offered something to work with on his first outing since leaving Denis Quinn after 6 months off when seventh at Wolverhampton 10 days ago so could be the answer with a potentially lenient mark to work with. Ustath should come on for his recent run and has dipped below his last winning mark, so is next best ahead of Come On Girl, who was only just edged out at Lingfield 2 weeks ago.
