Forecasts

Faadhel (11/10), Humbolt Current (7/2), International Man (7/2), Tight Lines (8/1), Poet's Dawn (14/1)

A small field but one likely to be run at a true tempo and that could see Humbolt Current reversing form from York with International Man and Poet's Dawn in what is a key piece of form. Tight Lines should ensure a strong gallop in a race where all hold realistic chances but preference is for FAADHEL who has improved nicely winning his last two and did so in the manner that suggests he's still a touch ahead of the handicapper.
