Forecasts

Haseef (7/2), Howzak (9/2), Cappananty Con (5/1), Delta River (5/1), Capla Spirit (7/1), Helvetian (17/2), Impeach (14/1), Got The Moves (14/1), Hurcle (25/1), Inaam (66/1)

CAPPANANTY CON is a three-time C&D winner and he shaped as though back in good nick when fourth in a race that wasn't run to suit here last time. He therefore has to be of serious interest on the back of that, with Capla Spirit and Howzak feared most.
