Forecasts
Storm Nelson (6/5), Wakool (6/4), Vee Dancer (9/4), Haute Estime (8/1), The Jam Man (17/2)
A cracking handicap despite the small field, with VEE DANCER selected to carry on his improvement back over hurdles. He got a remarkable hat-trick up in just 9 days in Britain a year ago, looking all stamina, and probably remains ahead of his mark. Haute Estime returns to hurdling with unfinished business over this sort of trip having run a blinder in the Sefton in the spring. Last year's 1-2 Wakool and Storm Nelson have to be feared, while a revival from The Jam Man wouldn't be a shock.
