Forecasts

Wreck It Ryley (3/1), Dark Side Thunder (10/3), Hk Fourteen (9/2), Harry's Halo (5/1), Raffles Angel (9/1), Mu Mu Land (12/1), Eartha (14/1), Sir David (16/1), Impressor (33/1)

A few with chances but HARRY'S HALO is fancied to build on his Ripon reappearance and capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of the consistent Raffles Angel. Dark Side Thunder can also have a say in this open contest.
