Forecasts

Finvarra (3/1), Selecto (3/1), Hedging (9/2), Pentimento (6/1), In The Cove (7/1), Thomas Lanfiere (7/1), Duke Of Prussia (17/2), Mia Mia (10/1), No Flies On Me (22/1), Henley Park (28/1), Map (33/1), Champagne Highlife (50/1), Mazikeen (50/1)

A chance is taken on HEDGING, whose latest 2 efforts can be easily overlooked and is now 9 lb below his last winning mark. Finvarra ought to give another good account, while No Flies On Me could have a bit more to offer now handicapping after shaping better than the result suggests in a Beverley maiden a fortnight ago.
