Forecasts

Navajo Star (9/4), Mr Davies (7/2), Traditional Dancer (11/2), Hallstatt (15/2), Thankyou Very Much (12/1), Legalized (12/1), Carthage (12/1), Jan Smuts (14/1), Cavalieri (22/1), Im Waiting (40/1), Mitcd (40/1), Kisumu (40/1), Desktop (40/1)

A moderate contest and it's hard to look beyond the lightly-raced NAVAJO STAR who made light work of winning in similar company at Chelmsford last week. There is probably a fair bit more to come from Michael Appleby's filly over this trip and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her. Traditional Dancer and Mr Davies look the principal dangers, though a market move for either Im Waiting or Mitcd would be interesting.
