Forecasts

The Navigator (7/4), Jamil (7/2), Whitwell (7/2), Ooh La Lah (13/2), Let Her Loose (7/1), Buford (10/1), Millie The Minx (12/1), Monticello (28/1), Peripeteia (66/1), Toutatis (66/1)

THE NAVIGATOR has scored twice over hurdles lately and is nicely handicapped back on the Flat, so he seems like the way to go in a thin race. Whitwell deserves respect after his recent second at Thirsk and Jamil can't be ruled out, but the others have something to prove.
