Forecasts

Clipsham La Habana (6/4), The Thames Boatman (13/8), Gumais (5/1), Ana Hadi (11/1), Colors Of Freedom (16/1), Outreach (20/1), Saucisson (25/1), Deira Star (66/1), Streak Of Luck (125/1), Ok Pal (200/1)

THE THAMES BOATMAN holds the clear edge on the form of his good eighth in a big-field Newmarket auction event and is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Clipsham La Habana who seems sure to build on his promising debut Kempton third. Newcomers Colors of Freedom and Deira Star appeal on paper and warrant respect too, especially if the market vibes are positive.
