Forecasts

Clotherholme (7/2), Tyche (5/1), Beechwood Emily (13/2), Shine On Brendan (15/2), Havana Go (8/1), Irish Eileen (8/1), Bawaader (17/2), Lucky Violet (10/1), Chinese Spirit (12/1), Jungle Book (22/1), Lukoutoldmakezebak (25/1), Earn Your Stripes (25/1), Sugarpiehoneybunch (33/1), Tristan Da Cunha (66/1)

HAVANA GO didn't enjoy the rub of the green last time and is taken to bounce back to form and deny Tyche a hat-trick. Clotherholme has found a win elusive but he's more consistent than most at this level and can hit the frame again.
