Forecasts

Man Of La Mancha (11/10), Indalo (3/1), Crack On Boys (7/1), Orbaan (17/2), Pearl Eye (12/1), Desperate Dan (12/1), Lunario (12/1), Enough Already (50/1)

INDALO is fancied to resume his progress now reverted to 1m having gone too keenly upped in trip at Chelmsford so gets the vote. Sole 3-y-o Man Of La Mancha could prove the biggest danger ahead of Orbaan, Pearl Eye and Enough Already.
