Forecasts

Salley Gardens (5/4), Diplomatic Ash (11/4), High Moon (6/1), Opening Bid (7/1), Thor De Cerisy (17/2)

SALLEY GARDENS looked as good as ever when making a winning return to chasing at Southwell and this represents another good opportunity. Diplomatic Ash might have found his third quick run too much when bidding for the hat-trick at Fontwell 5 weeks ago so can be expected to bounce back.
