Forecasts

Hooflepuff (15/8), Eagle Eyed Freddie (11/4), Inexplicable (9/2), Havana Goldrush (11/2), City Escape (11/2), Connie R (13/2), Ladypacksapunch (11/1), Storm Asset (16/1), Thrave (28/1)

CITY ESCAPE did well under the circumstances when a close third here last month, left with a bit too much to do, so earns the vote off the same mark. Hooflepuff's ninth win at this track doesn't look too far away judged on his running-on second over C&D 12 days ago and is the obvious threat, with Inexplicable best of the others.
