Forecasts

Strong Johnson (9/4), Fortamour (9/2), Oso Rapido (15/2), Golden Duke (8/1), Asadjumeirah (9/1), Havana Pursuit (10/1), Hurstwood (11/1), Starproof (11/1), Lily In The Jungle (16/1), Motawaazy (25/1), Object (50/1)

STRONG JOHNSON got right back on track when scoring at Redcar and remains on a handy-looking mark despite going up 5 lb. Oso Rapido looks the main danger on the back of his own recent Redcar victory, with Asadjumeirah and Havana Pursuit also in the mix in an open sprint.
