Forecasts

High On Hope (15/8), Indian Spirit (3/1), Initial Blue (7/1), Hackney Diamonds (7/1), Jr Climbs (8/1), Miss Collada (10/1), Worthington Lake (16/1), Excellent Echo (18/1), Cupola (18/1), Dapper Gee Gee (40/1), Spirit Lead Me (50/1)

INDIAN SPIRIT could do better now handicapping for a new yard and gets the vote. High On Hope may have won with more luck at Haydock last time and surely has a race in him. The returning Worthington Lake is another big player.
