Forecasts

Blue Trail (5/4), Harrow (9/4), Grenoble (5/1), Find (11/1), Wyvern (11/1), Swatch (22/1), Havana Goldrush (150/1)

A useful 3-y-o minor contest with the vote going to HARROW given he sets the clear standard on last year's form and promises to be suited by 1m on return to action. Blue Trail looked good when landing the odds at Southwell and is the obvious threat.
