Forecasts

Highfield Viking (10/3), Grand Citadel (4/1), Finn Ironside (5/1), Jesmond Dawn (5/1), Temper Trap (11/2), Mayo County (8/1), Mark's Choice (10/1), Original Thinker (14/1), Royal Jet (14/1), Danzart (16/1), Ahamoment (40/1)

JESMOND DAWN moves through his races as if this drop to 7f could suit and can resume winning ways back at Class 6 level. Highfield Viking has been shaping up quite well and is second choice. Temper Trap has slipped to a good mark and would be one to consider should the ground go on the soft side.
