The Real McKay^t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 65| CD

Forecasts

Powdering (13/8), Ormolulu (9/4), Mersea (4/1), Elegant Erin (9/1), Just A Spark (11/1), The Real McKay (14/1)

ORMOLULU goes really well here and a 2 lb rise for her fifth C&D victory over a fortnight ago might not prove sufficient to prevent her notching up the half dozen. Mersea also has winning form at the track and is feared most on the back of a recent Newcastle success. Elegant Erin and The Real McKay need factoring into this open sprint too.
