Forecasts

Neigh Botha (6/5), Havock (5/1), Haafback (11/2), Extraordinary Man (13/2), Well Vicky (10/1), Ben Buie (14/1), Abaya Du Mathan (16/1)

EXTRAORDINARY MAN teed himself up well for this when an encouraging reappearance fourth at Hereford and can capitalise on a lenient mark. Neigh Botha could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent C&D success, with Ludlow victor Haafback also in the mix.
