Forecasts

Merrimack (7/4), Doodlebug (3/1), Marcus (9/2), Stoneacre Girl (7/1), Musical Diva (8/1), Royal Expert (17/2), La Verite (10/1), Kohana Girl (12/1), Ninety Nine (18/1)

If a visor works again MERRIMACK will stand a good chance of overcoming a penalty for last week's Brighton success. Windsor third Marcus may be the one to give the selection most to do ahead of Stoneacre Girl.
