FORWARD PLAN was unable to match strides with Sail Away at Ayr in April but he's better than he was able to show that day and, now 8 lb better off with that rival, has good prospects of reversing those placings. Anthony Honeyball's charge shaped well in a valuable handicap on his reappearance and should be spot-on with that run under his belt. Sail Away may still pose a threat but Mister Coffey has edged down to an attractive mark and is feared most. Whistleinthedark is another to consider.
