Forecasts

Happaugue (11/4), Neverfindanother U (7/2), Wonder Spirit (18/5), Tara Power (7/1), Wootton Babble (14/1), Kartayaz (16/1), Cometh The Man (18/1), Gatsby Cap (20/1), Liquid Luck (20/1), Leviosa (22/1), Siofra (25/1), Holy Divine (33/1), Millyupdahilly (33/1), Jackandthefox (33/1), Miss Upbeat (40/1), Music Magic (100/1)

HAPPAUGUE was unsuited by the drop in trip last time and shaped well on his previous outing, so he gets the nod in a race that lacks depth. Neverfindanother U is an obvious danger on the back of a good second over C&D and Wonder Spirit can't be ruled out.
