Forecasts

Highfield Comrade (9/4), Oh So Cool (7/2), Showmedemoney (5/1), Staffordshire (7/1), Hijo De La Luna (8/1), Millbuie (12/1), Force Of Honour (12/1), Bavaria Iron (22/1), Freak Encounter (25/1), Masham Moor (25/1), Sweet Cicely (33/1), Rajawail (200/1)

HIGHFIELD COMRADE arrives on the up, which is hard to say about most of these and with cheekpieces hopefully helping him to chart a straighter course off the bridle, he looks the way to go. Showmedemoney and Hijo de La Luna head the opposition.
