Forecasts

Manton Road (15/8), Appleblossomwhite (11/4), Perfect Parole (9/2), Garibaldi Memory (9/2), Perfect Ruby (5/1), Secret Sausage (10/1), Coisty (28/1), Leading Star Girl (33/1), Magna (40/1)

MANTON ROAD isn't the most straightforward but he got the better of a couple of well-backed rivals at Wolverhampton 11 days ago so should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Perfect Ruby showed big improvement when promoted to first at Lingfield last month and rates the main threat ahead of another last-time-out winner Perfect Parole.
