Forecasts

Albasheer (6/1), Fresh (13/2), Summerghand (9/1), Jon Riggens (9/1), Mr Wagyu (10/1), Heavenly Power (10/1), Laugh A Minute (11/1), Dandyville (11/1), The Organiser (12/1), Big Gossey (16/1), Never Shout Never (16/1), Little Queenie (16/1), Nordic Passage (16/1), Arnhem (20/1), Hurricane Ivor (20/1), Volatile Analyst (25/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (25/1), The Highway Rat (33/1), Curraheen Princess (33/1), Master Matt (40/1), Bellaphina (50/1), Secret Magician (50/1), Sioux Spirit (66/1), Apache Outlaw (66/1), Livingston Range (66/1)

SUMMERGHAND and Albasheer couldn't be seperated in a competitive York sprint last month and can again come to the fore here with David O'Meara's grand veteran taken to edge it on this occasion. The home challenge is headed by C&D winner Prisoner's Dilemma, although Volatile Analyst, Heavenly Power, Never Shout Never and The Highway Rat all need factoring into a highly competitive sprint too.
