Forecasts

Saluti (10/3), She Can Boogie (4/1), Peggie Sue (6/1), Bossipop (6/1), Primo's Comet (13/2), War Whisper (8/1), Cobra Eye (9/1), Watchable (11/1)

Verdict

Paul Midgley has his sprinters in good form and he has fair prospects of adding to that tally here saddling two that have sound chances. SALUTI looks the pick of the duo having shown promise in both of his runs so far this year and despite the doubts about the trip this is a stiff 5f and his Doncaster third is working extremely well (first and second both winning next time out). War Whisper, the other Midgley runner is an infrequent winner but he can’t be dismissed after his Sandown exploits last time. The eased in grade Watchable will appreciate this return to 5f with C&D winner Peggie Sue likely to play a part along with Primo’s Comet.
