Forecasts

Sneaky Blinder (6/4), Hardman (3/1), Indian Romance (9/2), Spirit Charmer (11/1), Gregorianna (14/1), Inbetweenus (16/1), Silver Shamrock (22/1), Where Is The Love (25/1), Pearl Of Rowdown (50/1)

HARDMAN ran his best race from his reduced mark when just failing at Redcar 3 weeks ago and can go one better if seeing out this longer trip. Sneaky Blinder and Indian Romance head the dangers.
