Forecasts

Hiya Maite (6/4), Ventura Flame (4/1), California Gem (9/2), Spring Is Sprung (9/2), Manila Scouse (11/2), Dandy Dinmont (8/1), Devil's Angel (11/1), Embour (12/1)

HIYA MAITE arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his good recent Thirsk third. C&D winner Ventura Flame rates the main threat to Roy Bowring's likeable 5-y-o, with Dandy Dinmont rating the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
