Forecasts

Henry's Joy (11/10), Flynnvincible (6/5), Merry Milan (2/1), The Drone (8/1)

MERRY MILAN has a penalty to carry for his Bangor win but that was a good step forward and a repeat of that may well be good enough. Flynnvincible could leave his form behind now he gets more of a trip and may be the danger, with Henry's Joy a bit to prove after a disappointment last time out.
