Forecasts

Prince Eric (6/4), Monks Mead (11/4), Superb Force (5/1), Eccentric (13/2), Hatadora (17/2), Lucy Lockett (14/1), Floridian (25/1)

HATADORA showed improved form when making a winning handicap debut at this C&D last time, doing well to overcome a wide trip, and she can score again now that she's up and running. She is taken to confirm the placings with Eccentric from when the pair met here 11 days ago, while Monks Mead could also be thereabouts back down in grade.
