Forecasts

Whiteoak Fleur (15/8), Velkera (7/2), Eleanor Bob (4/1), Seaside Girl (13/2), Castlegrace Rose (10/1), Love Of Midnight (20/1), Jessie Lightfoot (25/1), Fforbidden Love (33/1), Streets Of Fire (40/1), Thequeenbee (40/1)

Verdict

Whiteoak Fleur sets the standard but the bar is hardly a high one, and anything with improvement to come will surely have a chance of taking this. VELKERA couldn't handle the slop at Market Rasen last time but the drying ground here will help and if she can take a step forward on her previous third, she will hold every chance today. Eleanor Bob looks a likely improver and for those looking for something at a bigger each-way price, it's worth having a look at Love Of Midnight.
