Forecasts

Lovat Scout (9/4), Havana Gila (10/3), Pont Neuf (4/1), I Need Your Love (11/2), I'm Next (17/2), Jm Jhingree (17/2)

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to PONT NEUF who wasn't seen to ideal effect when fifth at Chester last time out and can now capitalise on a 2 lb weights drop and secure a third victory of the season. Redcar scorer I Need Your Love is next on the list ahead of Jm Jhingree and Loyal Scout.
