Forecasts

High Jinx (1/2), Vivant (7/4), Ballyfarsoon (16/1), Percy Thrower (16/1), Clayton Hall (33/1)

Vivant was a ready winner over this trip at Worcester recently (maiden), but you'd be fool-hardy to look beyond the classy Group 1 Flat winner HIGH JINX who looked the part over hurdles at Kelso in early May. Connections have bypassed some potential suitable options up north since then and instead elected to wait for this race; with a clear round (expected), he'll be back in the winners enclosure.
