Forecasts

Sandinyourshoes (4/1), Miakoda (6/1), Flamborough Head (6/1), Precious Spartan (13/2), Crimson Lad (13/2), Nave Force (17/2), Falaise Blanc (10/1), I Can Boogy (12/1), Hardlass (12/1), Triple Wishes (14/1), Call Me Audrey (33/1), Ziva's Star (40/1)

The switch to handicap company brought immediate improvement in SANDINYOURSHOES, who went close over 6f at Southwell at the end of last month and he is taken to go one better with this step back up in trip no bad thing. Miakoda is respected on the back of a decent effort here 12 days ago and he is second choice ahead of Triple Wishes, who appeals as the type to do better now making her way into handicap company.
