Forecasts

Naughty Ana (7/2), Marve (4/1), Ireland's Eye (4/1), Odd Socks Havana (11/2), Keepherlit (11/2), Three Hat Day (7/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (12/1), Porth Diana (14/1), Mrs Bagerran (18/1), Blazing Son (20/1)

MARVE wasn't seen to best effect for the second start in succession in a York handicap (7f) 4 weeks ago, racing closer to the pace than ideal. His best efforts have come over this trip and he's worth siding with to get back on the up from a career-low mark. Naughty Ana and Ireland's Eye are others to consider.
