Forecasts

Hero Of The Hour (4/1), Havana Notion (4/1), Collective Power (9/2), Theriverrunsdeep (6/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (8/1), Prince Of Abington (17/2), Kuwait Direction (10/1), Eglish (12/1), Tawaazon (14/1), Catherine Chroi (14/1), Super Cub (25/1), Surviving Murmansk (25/1), Empress Of Bough (25/1), Gidwa (50/1), Pretty Smart (66/1), Majestic Colt (66/1), Boadicea Belle (66/1)

HAVANA NOTION has made a positive start to life in handicaps, not seen to best effect when fifth here last week, and remains one to be interested in. Prince of Abington was only just denied in a claimer here last week and is on a good mark if able to reproduce that form back in a handicap, while Hero of The Hour is 2 from 2 since fitted with blinkers and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.
