Forecasts

Always Busy (5/2), Fortunefavorsdbold (3/1), Haut Folin (9/2), Good Friday Fairy (13/2), Havaila (7/1), Imperial Hurricane (10/1), Mister Murchan (28/1), Racing Snake (33/1)

Verdict

HAUT FOLIN was well clear of the rest when runner-up at Ffos Las last time out and can gain a deserved first victory of the season here, at the chief expense of Good Friday Fairy who also shaped well when second at Exeter recently and is a big threat to Venetia Williams' top-weight. Recent Warwick scorer Always Busy is another who can have a say in a competitive handicap.
