Forecasts

Pirolo (5/2), Missguided (4/1), Mystery Gal (9/2), Roses Need Rain (5/1), Manomine (8/1), Black Agnes (11/1), Coreczka (12/1), Ana Lichious (14/1), Pushaq (14/1), Lord Erskine (25/1)

Verdict

PIROLO looks likely to appreciate this drop back in trip having been beaten over much further in recent starts and he can take this competitive looking event. The selection was a winner over 1m2f at the start of the month and is taken to get the better of Mystery Gal who has been running well lately but has to race from out of the handicap today while Roses Need Rain an claim third in first time cheekpieces.
  1. Pirolo
  2. Mystery Gal
