Forecasts

Pocket The Profit (4/1), Hidden Haven (9/2), Homemade Andrea (13/2), Pretty Green (8/1), Winter Siege (17/2), Midgetonamission (9/1), Hen Harrier (10/1), Sport Mode (12/1), Bella Caelia (12/1), Gilbert (20/1), Ardita (25/1)

Lots of these arrive with question marks against them, so HOMEMADE ANDREA is fancied to defy a 6 lb penalty and add to her much-improved Wolverhampton victory. Pocket The Profit and Winter Siege weren't seen to best effect when seventh in nurseries last time and appeal as the duo to chase Robert Eddery's filly home in that order.
