Forecasts

Profiteer (2/1), Gis A Sub (5/2), Howzak (5/1), Nasneen (11/2), Crocodile Power (9/1), Eldeyaar (10/1), Astapor (14/1), Quercus (16/1), Piper's Fort (18/1)

PROFITEER went down only to an improving 3-y-o at Thirsk last time and might prove the answer to the first division of this 6f handicap. Paul Midgley's Gis A Sub is feared most ahead of Eldeyaar, who arrives in form from AW and was successful over C&D just under a year ago.
