14/1

Forecasts

Havana Pursuit (5/2), Ajrad (10/3), Reputation (6/1), Laura's Breeze (8/1), Anif (17/2), Available Angel (12/1), Honrado (14/1), Tenyatta (16/1), Morning Suit (16/1), Red Scotch (20/1), Northern Cracksman (33/1), Gimcrack Warrior (50/1)

REPUTATION arrives on the back of a few good efforts on Wolverhampton's tapeta and might prove the answer to the second division of this handicap. The return to 7f will suit Laura's Breeze and she's second choice ahead of Tenyatta, who is back on a winning mark if a break has had a reviving effect.
