Forecasts

Mr Cool (3/1), Alashos (7/2), Frankies Dream (7/2), Star Zia (5/1), Midnight City (15/2), Nightbird (15/2), Sweet Sonata (20/1)

Verdict

FRANKIES DREAM only just failed to add another win to his tally at Newcastle last month and is preferred to Mr Cool who has had plenty of chances. Unexposed novice winner Star Zia is another to consider on handicap bow.

  1. Frankies Dream7/2
  2. Mr Cool3/1
