Forecasts

Bugsie Malone (1/1), Haul Away (15/8), Andapa (7/2), Robin Des Mana (25/1)

The ready winner at Worcester BUGSIE MALONE is taken to score again here with his front-running and rather smoother style of running preferable to that of Haul Away who has looked a hard ride so far and may not appreciate this sharp course. Andapa looks as though she could be useful over hurdles given her bumper form although she lacks the experience of the rest of the field in this sphere.
