Forecasts
Captain Hugo (4/6), Taurus Bay (15/8), Race To Base (8/1)
None of the trio can be ruled out but CAPTAIN HUGO looked an excellent prospect when going in at Newbury last month and can improve sufficiently to thwart Ben Pauling's stylish Stratford scorer Taurus Bay who also has better days ahead of him. Hereford victor Race To Base can't be discounted either in an intriguing contest.
