Forecasts

Beltane (5/2), Highland Olly (11/4), Saved Lizzie (11/2), Misemerald (7/1), Little Ted (17/2), Russian Virtue (9/1), Sunday Belle (10/1), Harry Magnus (25/1)

HIGHLAND OLLY's first run over this trip at Thirsk wasn't one of his better ones but it was probably more a case that he simply underperformed rather than failed to stay. David O'Meara's charge is well worth another chance on the strength of his solid reappearance second at Redcar. Beltane and Russian Virtue can fill the places.
