Forecasts

Hackman (11/8), Innvincible Friend (5/2), Big Time Rascal (5/1), She's Smart (6/1), John Steed (7/1), The Camden Colt (8/1), Havanarama (17/2), Roubay (12/1), Dan Dee Prince (14/1), Sergeant Mayer (25/1)

Preference is for HACKMAN, who travelled well for a long way on his Newmarket debut last month and can be expected to progress from that. She's Smart has the edge on experience over her rivals and is much respected, whilst Innvincible Friend can also make his presence felt.
