6/4

50/1

Forecasts

Hitched (6/4), Eye Of The Water (10/3), Paco's Pride (4/1), Lilandra (10/1), Fact Or Fable (14/1), Broughtons Flare (20/1), El Hibri (22/1), Compere (22/1), Jackie Diamond (40/1), Katie K (50/1)

HITCHED has really upped his game in recent starts and remains fairly treated. He can register his second victory. Lilandra and Paco's Pride rate the principal dangers.
