Forecasts

Blue Fin (2/1), Hashtag Boum (4/1), Caithness (4/1), Long Symphony (5/1), Lenebane (17/2), Shuil Ceoil (14/1), Si Elegant (16/1), Captain Nelson (150/1)

The form of the C&D novice in which CAITHNESS was an encouraging third on his debut looks strong (winner was previously fourth in a Grade 1 and the second subsequently scored in good style at Kelso) and he could be about to take a significant step forward. Lucinda Russell's representative gets the nod ahead of Blue Fin, who is just about second choice ahead of Hashtag Boum. The mare Lenebane is also worth a second look.
