Forecasts

Word Play (7/2), Roubay (5/1), Green Sigma (11/2), China Trade (13/2), Havanarama (7/1), High Sport (9/1), Polly The Rocket (11/1), Calafrio (12/1), Bargain Basement (18/1), Head's Gone Pal (18/1), Goldmine Girl (22/1), Someone Like You (66/1)

A wide-open nursery to kick off with the narrow vote in favour of GREEN SIGMA. Not without promise in a trio of maiden/novice events, she's probably best not judged too harshly on her handicap debut effort at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago. With cheekpieces now enlisted, she's fancied to be seen in a better light. Havanarama, on the back of being gelded, Polly The Rocket and Word Play are others to consider.
