Forecasts

Mr Mac (11/4), Hunters Step (3/1), Six Til Twelve (5/1), Headley George (7/1), Pearl Spectre (12/1), Chica Del Dia (12/1), Waqaas (12/1), Al Verde (20/1), Harlequin (25/1), Chiavari (25/1)

HUNTERS STEP looked unlucky not to make a winning start for Gay Kelleway over C&D 18 days ago and with a good value 7 lb claimer taking over, compensation may well await. Mr Mac is dangerous if getting a good pace to aim at, with Waqaas another to consider.
