Forecasts

Lieutenant Highway (10/11), Esperti (13/8), Hey Johnny (9/2), Midnight Our Fred (12/1), Alquinto (25/1)

LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY represents a stable that is well capable of readying a newcomer, so he's narrowly preferred to the penalised Esperti, who built on his earlier promise under a more patient ride to score at Listowel last month.
