Forecasts

Ey Up Its Mick (85/40), Hart Stopper (4/1), Lady Nectar (6/1), Mr Orange (15/2), Alminoor (8/1), Cloudea (8/1), Normandy Barriere (10/1), Triggered (14/1), Magical Effect (16/1), True Mason (18/1)

LADY NECTAR looked a sprint handicapper going places in the summer and it's pretty easy to forgive her Catterick run last month when coming short in her hat-trick bid on account of racing away from the favoured rail. She can get back on the up, with Ey Up Its Mick feared most from stall 1. Triggered has a wide draw to overcome but he may go well at a price.
