Forecasts

Trawlerman (11/5), Inigo Jones (7/2), Forest Falcon (5/1), Group One Power (6/1), Prejudice (8/1), U S S Michigan (9/1), Alba Rose (33/1), Nao Da Mais (40/1)

TRAWLERMAN has been off for a best part of a year but he shaped better than the bare result in what has turned out to be a vintage renewal of the Classic Trial at Sandown so an opening mark of 93 looks highly workable. Inigo Jones showed useful form last season and remains unexposed as a 4-y-o, while U S S Michigan made a positive start for this yard at Newcastle.
