Forecasts

Angel of Harlem (11/10), No Hiding Place (9/2), Commodore Barry (5/1), Nemean Lion (5/1), Fingerontheswitch (9/1), Monzino (150/1)

ANGEL OF HARLEM can complete a hat-trick on her return to handicaps for trainer Olly Murphy. The selection shapes as if this step up in distance will suit and see can see off Commodore Barry who is another stepping up in distance. Third place can go the way of No Hiding Place who represents a top yard and ran well when placed last time.
