Forecasts

Hollygrove Cha Cha (5/6), Orkney Blue (2/1), Squiggles (6/1), Cusack Park (7/1), Where's Willy (12/1), Lance Les Des (16/1), Laddie Cooper Mia (33/1), The Masters Maiden (50/1), Coast To Coast (50/1)

HOLLYGROVE CHA CHA saw off a subsequent winner when making a successful debut in the mud at Stratford last month and she can defy a penalty. Orkney Blue is interesting on debut for a yard with a good record in bumpers, while Squiggles is respected having been bought for £45,000 after landing a point.
