Forecasts

Havana Blue (9/4), Mr Writer (10/3), Illy's Roo (7/2), Gallant (7/1), Walson's Law (7/1), Tex (12/1), Be Frank (12/1), Dapper Guest (14/1), Mystic Moment (20/1), H Key Lails (25/1), King Of War (28/1), Wield (40/1), Independent Expert (100/1)

Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and James Fanshawe's improving MR WRITER is fancied to make light of a 4 lb rise for a recent Leicester victory and bag a third success from his last 4 starts. Havana Blue is feared most on the back of a good C&D second ahead of Be Frank and King of War.

  1. MR WRITER (IRE)
  2. HAVANA BLUE
  3. BE FRANK
