Forecasts
The Hatchet (1/2), Haarar (15/8), Fingal's Hill (4/1), Smokeringinthedark (5/1), Bucephalus (11/2), Inedit D'amour (12/1)
It's still early days for THE HATCHET and, having returned to form when finding just one too good over C&D last month, he gets the nod. Bucephalus will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his penultimate start and Fingal's Hill is another who will have a chance if able to shrug off a below-par last-time-out display.
