Forecasts

Sheepscar Lad (5/4), Dapper Man (5/1), The Nazca Lines (5/1), Lawless Louis (13/2), Lightoller (7/1), Bay Station (8/1), Lady Cristal (8/1), Whiteandgold (33/1)

Verdict

Sheepscar Lad and Lawless Louis find themselves heading up the weights without winning and others are potentially better handicapped. Bay Station looks well treated on her Beverley victory of last season and appeared to be coming to hand last time. Lady Cristal should be suited by the pace this is likely to be run at and her ability to stay 6f could prove useful over this circuit. THE NAZCA LINES catches the eye off this mark having been dropped in the weights recently and having generally campaigned at higher levels. He will probably be reassessed following his Haydock run on Friday and if he can tun to a similar level again, then he would be hard to beat.
