Forecasts

Old Harry Rocks (5/2), Whiskey Lullaby (11/4), Mahler's Promise (3/1), Rocheston (11/2), Portentoso (13/2)

MAHLER'S PROMISE gets the nod to build on a pleasing start to his chase career at Worcester recently, although strong market support for the Paul Nicholls-trained Whiskey Lullaby, who now goes chasing after wind surgery, would put a slightly different slant on things.
