Forecasts

Palmers Hill (5/2), Cracking Destiny (10/3), Northern Bound (5/1), Topofthecotswolds (11/2), Return Ticket (6/1), Schiehallion Munro (10/1), Marracudja (25/1), Game Of War (66/1)

NORTHERN BOUND was value for extra over the winning margin when completing a chase hat-trick at Kelso 2 weeks ago and a subsequent weight rise may not prevent another bold bid on that evidence. Cracking Destiny similarly arrives in good form and can feature, along with Schiehallion Munro. Palmers Hill needs monitoring in the market on return.
