Forecasts

Alligator Alley (7/2), Bedford Flyer (7/2), Spangled Mac (9/2), Mondammej (9/2), Rhythm N Hooves (15/2), The Ridler (10/1), Bergerac (14/1), Exalted Angel (18/1), Lord Riddiford (25/1)

ALLIGATOR ALLEY wasn't at his best on turf at Haydock last time but remains on a handy-looking mark and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways returned to tapeta. Bedford Flyer rates a big danger though under a 5 lb penalty for his recent Lingfield success, with Rhythm N Hooves and Spangled Mac both in the picture too in a useful handicap.
