Forecasts

Lady Gwen (11/8), Three Macks (2/1), Ravi Road (12/1), Forever A Dove (14/1), Blue Clover (14/1), Pollyonesock (16/1), First Venture (16/1), Princess Poppy (20/1), Baby Sham (25/1), Moirai (33/1), Somerway (200/1)

This looks a decent opportunity for recent Market Rasen runner-up THREE MACKS to get off the mark. Blue Clover's peak bumper form suggests she can make her presence felt now hurdling and she's second choice ahead of Lady Gwen.
