Forecasts

Clocker (10/11), Talitha Rouge (9/4), Blue Tulip (7/2), Musical Accord (4/1), Skirt Around (33/1)

CLOCKER reverted back to her slow starting ways but it was encouraging she could match her previous best when runner up at Leicester 17 days ago (pulled long way clear of the remainder). She can confirm her mark to be an exploitable one, possibly at the chief expense of Wolverhampton scorer Blue Tulip, who appeals as the type to progress further in staying handicaps. Musical Accord didn't kick on as expected in maidens but this switch to handicaps can see her to better effect now.
