Forecasts

Hargam (10/11), Lofgren (2/1), Crin Au Vent (7/2)

Hargam was just a little disappointing on his chasing debut at Uttoxeter and was not fluent on a few occasions. He may well improve for that experience but he is not one to be going too short about for the moment and the suggestion is to take him on with the newcomer in the field CRIN AU VENT. Paul Nicholls' five-year-old has a few pounds to find with the likely favourite, but he has much more of a chasing pedigree and is being brought along steadily. That could begin to bear fruit to day. We have seen Lofgren a few times now and he needs to improve to trouble the other pair.
