Forecasts

Global Effort (7/2), Colors Of Freedom (7/2), Marcus (4/1), Latin Five (4/1), My Boy Harry (9/2), Tilsworth Ony Ta (12/1), Apple's Angel (14/1), Dubai Magic (18/1)

MY BOY HARRY didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Brighton last time out so gets the vote off the same mark here. Latin Five is weighted to go close and heads the list of dangers ahead of recent Yarmouth scorer Global Effort and Wolverhampton victor Colors of Freedom.
