Forecasts

Prince Alex (9/4), Pleasant Man (11/4), Marshall Plan (10/3), Whitehaven (4/1), The Trader (6/1), Bodyline (7/1), Ispahan (8/1), Just In Time (22/1)

A useful handicap, with PRINCE ALEX taken to remain unbeaten for Michael Bell having displayed a good attitude at Goodwood last time. The Trader lurks on a dangerous mark and ran better than for a while at Haydock 12 days ago. Pleasant Man is expected to leave his York run behind and completes the shortlist.
