Forecasts

Northcliff (10/3), Sir Rodneyredblood (9/2), Daytona Lady (5/1), Man On A Mission (5/1), Blackjack (11/2), Lilkian (15/2), El Hibri (12/1), Thismydream (16/1), Kessaar Power (16/1)

A chance is taken on LILKIAN who has dipped to a good mark and shaped better than the result at Lingfield last time. Daytona Lady is another who is starting to look well handicapped again and is second choice ahead of Northcliff and Sir Rodneyredblood.
