Forecasts

Odd Socks Havana (2/1), Mighty Fine (10/3), Shadow Angel (6/1), Well Prepared (6/1), Luscifer (13/2), Four Feet (9/1), Big Dutchie (10/1), Makyon (12/1), Red Bravo (16/1), City Wanderer (20/1), Mac Mccarthy (22/1), Upalnitetogetlucky (50/1), Lexington Bullet (125/1)

A few with chances, but ODD SOCKS HAVANA arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to go one better than when runner-up at Newcastle, going for home earlier than ideal and caught close home. Southwell-second Red Bravo is next on the list, with in-form Makyon well in the mix.
