Forecasts

Whittle Le Woods (6/5), Tipperary Tiger (3/1), Toussarok (5/1), Chief Little Hawk (12/1), Mudlahhim (14/1), Cry Havoc (18/1), Spartan Fighter (18/1)

WHITTLE LE WOODS can cement his fine start for the Mick Appleby yard by landing a second success of the year. Tipperary Tiger is another who arrives at the top of his game and is feared most ahead of Toussarok.
