Forecasts

Forget The Way (13/8), Nowmelad (7/4), Bluegrass (5/2), Yes Indeed (7/2), Whiskeywealth (11/1)

FORGET THE WAY has placed on three of his 4 starts over this C&D and having returned in good nick this season, he looks the most solid option with race fitness on his side. Bluegrass won three times last season and is respected if returning in similar form following another breathing operation, while Yes Indeed has won off a break previously and could be interesting if supported off an 8 lb lower hurdles mark.
