Forecasts

Top Chief (4/1), Alanjou (4/1), Southport (5/1), Hardtorock (6/1), Charlie Mon (7/1), Distracted (8/1), Midnight Queen (9/1), Findusatgorcombe (12/1), Oriental Fixer (20/1)

This looks a good opportunity for TOP CHIEF to resume winning ways having scored in better company here and then unable to compete with an enterprisingly ridden winner last week. Alanjou has to be respected with a top conditional on board and stepping up to a trip that ought to suit. Southport and Hardtorock have stamina to prove, whilst Charlie Mon needs to rebound from a poor run four weeks ago.
