Forecasts

Urban Road (11/4), Odd Socks Havana (10/3), Biplane (4/1), Reclaim Victory (4/1), Martin's Brig (4/1), Pop Favorite (14/1), Depart A Minuit (80/1)

MARTIN'S BRIG ran a cracker when runner-up at Redcar last month and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Odd Socks Havana and Urban Road can also make their presence felt.
