Forecasts

City Roller (11/4), Greatness Awaits (3/1), Mac Be Lucky (7/1), Thurley (15/2), Miss Marette (9/1), Western Soldier (11/1), Ocean Ridge (14/1), Clinton Lane (16/1), Daany (22/1), Elusive Enemy (66/1)

Hard to be bullish about many here, so it may be worth chancing WESTERN SOLDIER, who wasn't seen to best effect under restraint at Hereford last time and looks on workable mark based on his Flat form. City Roller remains winless but arrives after a sound runner-up effort and also makes appeal, whilst handicap newcomer Ocean Ridge could do better in this sphere.
