Forecasts

Traveling Soldier (11/10), Couldbeaweapon (2/1), Conquer The Breeze (5/2), Prospect House (3/1), Lady's Present (7/1), Lord Maher (15/2), Mawlood (33/1)

PROSPECT HOUSE is building up a good record here and appeals as the most solid option. Conquer The Breeze gained reward for his consistency this year when finally off the mark at Hexham and is feared most ahead of Traveling Soldier.
