Forecasts

She's Got Bottle (5/4), Calcutta Dream (5/1), Sunny Orange (15/2), Distinction (17/2), Dougies Dream (11/1), Josiebond (12/1), Run Simba (12/1), Capernoity (14/1), Clotherholme (16/1), Rose'aid (25/1), Moush (33/1), Missmimi (125/1)

Little depth to a contest in which SHE'S GOT BOTTLE looks more than capable of defying the penalty acquired from last week's Pontefract success. Distinction was behind Calcutta Dream at Wolverhampton last time but benefits from a more favourable draw here and is narrowly preferred for second out of the pair.
