Forecasts

Praiano (2/1), Super Superjack (10/3), Diamond Bay (4/1), Celtic Art (9/2), Dancing Harry (17/2), Salsada (14/1)

Having run a cracker to finish second in a competitive event at York last time, the likeable SUPER SUPERJACK is taken to get back to winning ways and enhance his already excellent strike rate as a stayer. Dancing Harry is a threat and a big effort from Praiano would come as no surprise on his return.
