The biggest certainty of the day has already come in - it's raining here in Manchester.
However, they say every dark cloud has a silver lining and that's certainly true in this case as I fancy Target Brett to win tonight's Betfred Laurels final over 470m and wide runners have a big advantage at Belle Vue when it's wet.
The selection was a beaten favourite in the semis but met with early trouble that night and in the end did well to qualify for the decider.
Julie Bateson's charge switches back out from trap five to six here and is better judged on an impressive four-and-a-half lengths first-round success when donning the striped jacket.
This October 2007 son of Australian super-sire Brett Lee already has big-race experience after landing the Manchester Puppy Cup in brave fashion over this course and distance last month.
And he should be much shorter than the 2/1 on offer at Stan James once the weather watchers have lumped on.
Sunoak Crystal landed a gamble here on Gold Collar final night in front of the Sky TV cameras in August and is clearly still in good heart going off her semi-final success.
Available at 7/2 with the sponsors, she looks the main danger but will have to do everything right early on to escape from the midfield minefield in trap four.
Droopys Zach would be a topical winner of the Betfred Parliament Stakes over 670m as he will be wearing the tory blue of trap two while the Conservatives are in town.
The formbook gives him a fine chance too after nine wins from his last 14 races, including a track record over 642m at Sittingbourne.
A draw near the rails is the only worry this time, but he has been known to steer a middle course once turning the corner and can outstay tonight's field for an 11/8 success at who else but Blue Square.
