Forecasts

Haymaker (5/4), Mary Of Modena (3/1), Skallywag Bay (5/1), Secret Handsheikh (6/1), Conquistador (15/2), Faustus (15/2), Antiphon (10/1), Pop Dancer (18/1), Umming N' Ahing (20/1)

A chance is taken on the reappearing HAYMAKER who did well at a similar time last year and is back on a good mark if a wind operation during the off season has had a positive effect. Skallywag Bay should be sharper for a recent outing at Wolverhampton and is second choice ahead of the reappearing Mary of Modena.
