Forecasts

Nordic Glory (6/5), Havana Sky (13/8), Havechatma (13/2), Lion Ring (11/1), Restricted (16/1)

HAVANA SKY wasn't fully extended when scoring at Thirsk recently and he's still unexposed so, with the potential for better again, he takes marginal preference over Nordic Glory, who came clear of the others when runner-up at Brighton 9 days ago. Lion Ring is also considered.
