Forecasts

Ski Angel (9/4), Beaumadier (4/1), Jamie's Choice (9/2), Golden Rainbow (6/1), Sixcor (13/2), Doralee (17/2), Crackinthunder (16/1), Hard Nut (28/1)

JAMIE'S CHOICE showed encouraging signs when making late headway at Catterick just 8 days ago following a 3-month absence. This previous C&D winner should strip fitter now. Golden Rainbow is interesting with the visor back on, having shown decent form earlier in the season. Doralee made all for an impressive win at Redcar recently and similar tactics could serve her well again.
