Forecasts

Northbound (9/4), Miss Willows (5/2), Queens Road Revue (3/1), Martin's Brig (4/1), Harry Magnus (8/1), Naval Academy (8/1), Bibendum (17/2), Going Underground (9/1), Havana Touch (10/1), B Associates (22/1), Curious Mrs Fox (33/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but the vote goes to NAVAL ACADEMY who hinted at a revival when sixth at Thirsk on his recent return and should also find this step back up to 7f in his favour. Miss Willows rates an obvious threat on the back of her emphatic Catterick success, while Martin's Brig, Northbound and Harry Magnus all need factoring into this open handicap too.
