Forecasts

Khabib (5/2), Nelson Gay (4/1), Castan (9/2), Strong Johnson (6/1), Reigning Profit (7/1), Treacherous (17/2), Albegone (14/1), Open Market (16/1), Flag Flying (40/1)

NELSON GAY didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Redcar last time out and can quickly resume winning ways back on the AW. Reigning Profit should be all the better for his recent Lingfield fourth after an absence so rates the chief threat, although both Khabib and Strong Johnson can have a say too in a competitive handicap.
