Forecasts

Haulani (3/1), Snougar (10/3), Alfiboy (4/1), Main Fact (4/1), Chasseur De Tete (11/2), Xpo Universel (10/1)

There should be little to choose once again between Snougar and Chasseur De Tete who fought out a close finish at Ayr last month, but the handicapper may have given Brian Ellison's HAULANI a winning chance. His run behind Redicean at Kempton earlier this term is decent form and he can land the spoils in receipt of 12lb from the aforementined pair. Main Fact won't be too far away either.
