Forecasts

Have Secret (11/4), Cockalorum (9/2), Financer (6/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (7/1), Lord Protector (15/2), Loyal Touch (10/1), Baryshnikov (10/1), Wintercrack (11/1), Yorkshire Lady (11/1), Hosanna Power (14/1), High Point (14/1)

The pick of these could be HOSANNA POWER, who made a winning reappearance off 1 lb higher last term and ended that campaign with a respectable effort over a mile at Chelmsford, on what was his final run for Sir Michael Stoute. The return to this trip looks a good move and he gets the nod ahead of Lord Protector, who made a positive start to this season when second at Newcastle last month. Top-weight Loyal Touch is third choice ahead of Have Secret and Wintercrack.
