Forecasts

Alligator Alley (11/4), Frank The Spark (4/1), Equity Law (11/2), Master Of My Fate (11/2), Kodiac Thriller (15/2), Emeralds Pride (15/2), Squealer (12/1), Brazen Bolt (18/1), Pop Star (33/1)

KODIAC THRILLER showed plenty of speed starting out for this yard at Pontefract on return last month so could be worth chancing trying 5f for the first time. Alligator Alley is worth another chance off a workable mark, while the likeable Frank The Spark can go well again.
