Forecasts

Susiesparkle (5/4), V Twelve (6/1), Ribble River (7/1), Thats My Boy Luke (7/1), Roman Secret (8/1), Jaminoz (10/1), Epona Pas (20/1), Val Bassett (28/1), Bristol Hill (50/1), Amasar (50/1)

SUSIESPARKLE made a successful stable debut at Thirsk earlier in the week and is able to race without a penalty, so looks the clear pick at the weights here. Ribble River was better than ever when scoring at Carlisle last month and remains unexposed at the trip, with Jaminoz also respected after his win here earlier in the month.
