Forecasts

Daheer (5/2), Fitwood Star (5/2), Fountain Cross (9/2), Hector's Here (9/2), Further Measure (9/1), Carey Street (12/1), Just The Man (50/1)

HECTOR'S HERE has a fine record here and signalled he's ready to garner a fifth success when running on into second back over 1m at Southwell last week, so he gets the vote returned to a longer trip now. Fitwood Star rates a big threat though in his bid for a five-timer, with C&D scorer Daheer and the returning Fountain Cross not taken lightly either in a competitive handicap.
