Forecasts

The Childe Of Hale (9/4), Anthropologist (16/5), Captain Harry (7/2), Groundsman (6/1), Coeur Jaune (7/1), Georgecandoit (8/1), Sir David (16/1), Jersey Maverick (22/1), Sunshine Mag (25/1), Mythical Isle (40/1)

Lots with chances but THE CHILDE OF HALE looks the way to go given he can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a very good fourth here last time out. Anthropologist is next on the list on the back of a recent Ayr victory, while Captain Harry, Georgecandoit and Groundsman are all in the picture too.
