Forecasts

Katelli (2/1), Trouser The Cash (9/4), Hyba (4/1), Aguerooo (6/1), Essaka (12/1), Kyllukey (14/1), Mercers (22/1), Faregaan (28/1), Celerity (50/1), Hurricane Alert (125/1)

HYBA shaped well on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month. She should be able to improve again and can prove too good for much more exposed rivals here. Trouser The Cash hasn't been seen since December when winning at Wolverhampton but should go close if fully fit. Kyllukey holds each-way claims too.
