Forecasts

Huddersfilly Town (5/4), Master Of Heaven (3/1), Haldaw (9/2), Outlaw Torn (7/1), Saga Sprint (8/1), London Grammar (10/1), Norwegian Reward (14/1), Reason To Believe (16/1), Our Kim (20/1), Summerling (20/1)

These are a fairly uninspiring bunch, but top weight HUDDERSFILLY TOWN at least remembers what its like to win and was a shade unlucky last time out. Outlaw Torn has dropped to a tempting mark if he can find any of his old form and may get involved, a comment that also applies to Haldaw, who ran well over C&D a couple of months ago. Saga Sprint and London Grammar are the only others who make even limited appeal.
