Forecasts

Crypto Quest (3/1), Street Life (11/2), Hurstwood (11/2), Urban Dandy (6/1), Canaria Prince (13/2), Hard Nut (9/1), Stallone (11/1), Global Humor (12/1), No Aw There (14/1), Nellie French (16/1), Candy Eye (22/1), Sherdil (25/1)

HURSTWOOD underperformed at Ripon last time, but he shaped well in a much stronger race on his penultimate start and can be given another chance dropped further in grade. Canaria Prince is better judged on his Southwell win having had a less-than-ideal trip at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, while Crypto Quest is much lower in the weights on all-weather and can also feature.
