Forecasts

Westcombe (7/4), Hebridean Nomad (5/2), Bownder (15/2), Tatmeen (8/1), Kathleen Mary (10/1), Letmebetheboss (11/1), Fiddlers Green (16/1), One Cool Dreamer (16/1), Alfred Spero (33/1), The Bay Warrior (50/1), Tiger Beetle (50/1), Phaedra (66/1)

WESTCOMBE made a promising return when runner-up at Southwell recently and Sir Mark Prescott's still-unexposed son of Ghaiyyath is fancied to take another step forward here and get off the mark. Kathleen Mary is also weighted to have a say and next on the list with Hebridean Nomad, Tatmeen and Bownder all in the picture too.
