Forecasts

Westcombe (11/4), Bownder (11/2), Hebridean Nomad (6/1), One Cool Dreamer (7/1), Alfred Spero (8/1), Fiddlers Green (10/1), Letmebetheboss (12/1), Tatmeen (12/1), Kathleen Mary (12/1), The Bay Warrior (14/1), Phaedra (25/1), Tiger Beetle (50/1)

Verdict

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.
