Forecasts

Good Morning Alex (4/1), Shaws Phoenix (9/2), Havana Prince (5/1), Sunblock (7/1), This Years Love (15/2), Infinite Honour (9/1), Viridian (11/1), Kode Secret (16/1), Walter Mitty (18/1), Nominal Event (20/1), Kingsford (22/1), John L Sullivan (25/1), Edgewater Drive (40/1), Turkish Tiger (100/1), Sky Blue Dreams (100/1)

SHAWS PHOENIX made a positive start for new trainer Alice Haynes when runner-up at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and can build on that and go one better now. Havana Prince will be a threat if reproducing the form she showed when runner-up at Catterick in midweek, while Good Morning Alex arrives on the back of a good spell on AW.
