Forecasts

Sixcor (10/3), Doon The Glen (7/2), Kyber Crystal (11/2), Astapor (13/2), Captain Corcoran (15/2), Lancashire Life (17/2), Mews House (9/1), Protest Rally (10/1)

SIXCOR is back on a winning mark and his recent third at Ayr suggests he may be ready to strike again. Captain Corcoran was back on song when runner-up at Catterick last month and is feared most ahead of Jim Goldie's Doon The Glen.
