Forecasts

Metal Man (4/5), Niven (9/2), Pound Off You (9/2), The Resdev Way (8/1), New Delhi Express (11/1), Globetrotter (14/1), Hear Me Out (16/1), Jamil (20/1), Cheese And Wine (28/1), Rita R (40/1), Mr Sundowner (66/1), Prince Abu (66/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and METAL MAN is fancied to build on his recent Newcastle second and open his account for his new yard. Niven arrives on a long losing run but is feared most on the back of his Newcastle fifth after a lay-off. Course winner The Resdev Way looks set to take a step forward too on his Pontefract third and he can also have a say.
