Forecasts

Of Course You Can (10/11), Queshi Bridge (7/4), Either Way (9/4), Springs A Girl (4/1), Shorten Sassy (16/1), Varinia (50/1), Majestic Mia (50/1), Gemi Cat (66/1)

EITHER WAY showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and, while that wasn't a strong event, she can improve enough to defy a penalty. Queshi Bridge is an obvious player on return and Of Course You Can should give another good account.
