Forecasts

Of Course You Can (2/1), Ile De Jersey (2/1), Mermaids Cave (5/2), Taxus Baccata (4/1), Callin Baton Rouge (11/2), Masked Dance (8/1), Walk Of No Shame (16/1)

In a tricky 7drunner handicap, it could pay to side with OF COURSE YOU CAN whose best efforts have come on sharp right-handed tracks and she's likely to be well positioned if this becomes a test of speed at the trip. Ile De Jersey was having only her second start of the season at Cheltenham (following a long absence) and may be worth another chance, with better expected from Mermaids Cave (first time headgear) and Callin Baton Rouge (returning from a break).
