Forecasts

Destinado (2/1), Hammy End (10/3), Cliffs Of Malta (9/2), Miss Sligo (15/2), Harmonious (9/1), King Athelstan (11/1), Steel Helmet (12/1), Stevie Mckeane (33/1), Buford (40/1), Fast Flo (125/1), Rogan's Fancy (150/1)

DESTINADO had a bit up his sleeve when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and he's worth chancing in the follow-up bid. Hammy End is likely to be back on his game, so he's feared along with Harmonious.
