Forecasts

San Andreas (8/11), Current Option (3/1), Harry's Bar (9/2), Harpocrates (15/2), Our Patron Saint (200/1), Drish Hero (400/1)

SAN ANDREAS readily made all at this course (7f) a fortnight ago and is likely to have his own way out in front once more, so he's a straightforward selection for all a return to form is expected from Harry's Bar and his stablemate Current Option better than ever on turf last year, so he's a danger if fit enough to do himself justice.
