Forecasts

First Angel (6/4), Trapista (13/8), Heronord (7/2), Full Of Light (9/1)

HERONORD was always fighting a losing battle when chasing home Guinness Affair at Market Rasen earlier this month, but he faces nothing in the mould of that progressive type here and is taken to resume winning ways. If the addition of a visor helps eke out a bit more from Trapista she will likely emerge as the main danger, given that First Angel needs to bounce back following a heavy defeat in the Newton Abbot race won by Heronord last month.
