Forecasts

Hector Jaguen (7/4), Harry The Norseman (10/3), Mordred (4/1), Elmount (5/1), Agent Saonois (11/2), Pleasure Garden (17/2), Extraordinary Man (9/1), Clondaw Robin (50/1), Albert Van Ornum (50/1), Checkitsme (125/1)

With a return to a left-handed track likely to suit it might be worth chancing AGENT SAONOIS to make a winning return from a break for the Neil Mulholland team. Last week's Fontwell scorer Hector Jaguen rates an obvious threat, while Mordred also merits respect on the back of his Southwell third.
