Forecasts

Meldrum Lad (9/4), Nancy's Trix (5/2), Tikkapick (11/2), Golan Dancer (6/1), Triple Chief (8/1), Champagne Benefit (14/1), Get Ready Freddy (16/1), Chief Bottlewasher (100/1)

Little strength in depth here and, on the face of it, an ideal opportunity for Meldrum Lad to follow up last week's Huntingdon success. That said, his odds are likely to be cramped and it may pay to take him on with chasing debutant NANCY'S TRIX who starts out for an in-form new yard off a potentially handy mark considering she has won a point-to-point. Golan Dancer should also be competitive.
