Forecasts

Up For Parol (15/8), Bethpage (3/1), Lihyan (4/1), Imperial Merlin (6/1), West To The Bridge (17/2), Jaytee (16/1)

UP FOR PAROL has developed into a fairly useful stayer and he ran a cracker in a competitive handicap at Cartmel on Monday. A similar performance over the slightly longer trip can see him take this at the expense of the progressive Bethpage, who was as good as ever back in open company at Market Rasen earlier this month. Consistent veteran West To The Bridge should give another good account,
