Forecasts

Forest Spirit (11/10), Harry The Haggler (4/1), Cloudside Rock (5/1), Starfighter (9/1), Aikhal (10/1), Dibble Dabble (16/1), Pysanka (18/1), Miss Applejack (28/1), Silk Bird (150/1)

FOREST SPIRIT was a wide-margin winner at Southwell on Saturday so has obvious claims turned out quickly off the same mark. Harry The Haggler and Starfighter look best of the others.
