Forecasts

Mostawaa (13/8), Chips And Rice (4/1), Finn Russell (5/1), We'renotreallyhere (7/1), New Heights (15/2), Desfondado (12/1), Local Bay (20/1)

CHIPS AND RICE is in good order and simply didn't get a clear run last time, so she's preferred to Local Bay, who was better than ever when scoring at Brighton. Finn Russell is another one to consider.
