Forecasts

Hititi (15/8), Sandalwood (5/2), Hardy Boy (5/2), Astigar (3/1), Noble Savage (7/2), Just Go For It (4/1), Mikhailovich (5/1), Rebel Intentions (11/2)

Verdict

Cases can be made for a few of these but HARDY BOY fared much better than previously this season sporting first-time cheekpieces when going down by just a short head at Kempton last month, so provided the headgear is as equally as effective on this occasion, he's fancied to go a place better. Astigar has been given a chance by the assessor, so he's feared most, ahead of handicap debutant Sandalwood.
