Forecasts

Regal Eagle (11/10), Hunters Step (5/1), Switzer (13/2), Pact Of Steel (9/1), Henley Park (11/1), Harlequin Rose (16/1), Blue Whisper (20/1), New Look (20/1), Sharp Exhibit (25/1), Red Skye Delight (40/1), Voice Of Dubawi (40/1), Echo Of Lightning (66/1), Joyfilly (80/1)

HENLEY PARK has very few miles on the clock and was not ideally placed at Lingfield last month. He can progress once again in first-time cheekpieces to take this event. Hunters Step is a consistent sort who can't be ruled out. Regal Eagle should have more to offer up in trip too.
