Forecasts

Motawaazy (10/3), Nearly A Gonna (9/2), Fauvette (6/1), Mr Orange (15/2), Patsy Fagan (10/1), Harmony Lil (12/1), Captain Jameson (12/1), Dream Together (14/1), Marvel (16/1), Penny Pot Lane (20/1), Follow Your Heart (25/1), Dark Defender (25/1), Zapper Cass (28/1), Tar Heel (33/1), Run This Way (40/1), Little Muddy (66/1), Mayelf (150/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. RUN THIS WAY caught the eye on only her second run for Paul Midgley when a running-on fourth at Carlisle and is fancied to take another step forward here for her shrewd yard. Both Fauvette and Motawaazy arrive on the back of best-ever wins though so seem sure to be on the premises, while the well-weighted Captain Jameson is another high on the shortlist.
