Forecasts

Russco (11/4), Heer's Sadie (4/1), Valentinka (4/1), Falcon Brook (11/2), Case Of The Ex (8/1), This Ones For Fred (11/1), Major Force (16/1), Crocodile Power (18/1), Tommy And Andy (80/1), Topflightsuperfly (200/1)

RUSSCO came good in some style over C&D last week and still looks ahead of his mark under a 6 lb penalty so is taken to follow up at the chief expense of Heer's Sadie, who arrives on the back of an excellent Kempton third. Valentinka showed the benefit of blinkers when third at Brighton and appeals as the pick of the remainder with the headgear retained.
