Forecasts

NAVELLO has returned from a break in top form, backing up his reappearance success on the all-weather with a creditable effort at Newmarket where he put in good late work from well off the pace to finish second to Tees Spirit. He gets the nod ahead of Jumbeau, who may well benefit from the fitting of cheekpieces and should have come on for her recent spin at Nottingham. Intervention will be a threat if on-song.
