Forecasts

Due Consideration (4/1), Northern Cracksman (9/2), Bestie (6/1), Happy Helen (7/1), Havana Prince (15/2), Whatwouldiknow (8/1), Infinite Honour (10/1), Likleman (10/1), Amazing Winnie (16/1), Nominal Event (16/1), Kingsford (20/1), On The Bubble (33/1)

NORTHERN CRACKSMAN arrives with placed form over 1m on AW this year and might prove the answer to this open-looking 3-y-o handicap. Due Consideration wasn't at his best at Southwell last month but had enjoyed a good run of form prior to that and is second choice ahead of unexposed Michael Dods handicap newcomer Happy Helen.
