Forecasts

Take A Hike (16/5), Rickety Gate (7/2), Maillot Blanc (4/1), Mystical Martika (6/1), Leader Wing (13/2), Bathgate (8/1), Grand Voyage (16/1), Ingennio (25/1), Flying Sandpiper (40/1)

Verdict

BATHGATE has shown little spark both starts this season, but now back on his last successful mark and eased in grade, he looks worth chancing. Take A Hike disappointed on his chasing debut at Hexham when last seen but had been shaping reasonably well in this sphere prior to that, with veteran Rickety Gate another to consider for an in-form yard.
