Forecasts

Big River (5/2), Mister Whitaker (5/2), Cash To Ash (11/4), Saint Xavier (10/3)

A case can be made for all 4 but SAINT XAVIER ran well over an inadequate trip at Haydock last time and could be the answer. Mister Whitaker has bled but he's been given a chance by the handicapper back chasing following a breathing operation.
