Forecasts

Cap Du Nord (3/1), Sir Egbert (4/1), Martabot (11/2), The Missus (6/1), Delface (7/1), Flight To Milan (7/1), Tobacco Road (8/1), Pointed And Sharp (25/1), Ruby Russet (33/1)

Flight To Milan looks a likely sort on his handicap debut and The Missus is of interest with a positive jockey booking despite her long absence. Martabot looks the best of his stable's three runners, but the selection is CAP DU NORD, who got stuck in the Haydock mud last time and may have more to offer on better ground.
