Forecasts

Porfin (11/4), Headley George (4/1), Boy George (9/2), He's Our Star (5/1), Agent Of Fortune (7/1), Well Prepared (17/2), Mr Mac (14/1), Think Trigger (16/1), Yuhibu (33/1), Monsieur Patat (50/1), Blairlogie (100/1)

An open race with the vote going to THINK TRIGGER, who appeals as the type to do better now venturing into handicaps after a break for his in-form yard. Porfin is thriving at present so he's well respected under a penalty, while others to consider are Headley George and He's Our Star, who also arrive in good heart.
