Forecasts

Star Walking (5/2), Pretending (11/4), Greyval (7/1), Mermaids Cave (10/1), Game Colours (11/1), Sunday Soldier (11/1), Addosh (14/1), Linda Moon (14/1), Laravie (20/1), Lindy Reilly (20/1)

STAR WALKING hasn't put a foot wrong to date and, while only just edging ahead from Game Colours at Wincanton last time, there should be more to come switched to handicaps. Sunday Soldier is a most likeable mare who should go well back hurdling and Lindy Reilly is another who remains with potential.
