Forecasts

Hot Hannah (5/2), Dutch Dream (9/2), Knockamany Bends (5/1), Cheeni (13/2), Perfect Words (8/1), Tinsill (9/1), Imperial Legend (14/1), Sir Domino (14/1), Dawoodi (14/1), Reflation (22/1), Vecheka (25/1)

Last years winner KNOCKAMANY BENDS returned to form when finishing runner-up last time out and can repeat last years victory off a 1lb higher mark today. The selection is likely to race close to the pace and is taken to get the better of his rivals here with top weight Perfect Words who carries a penalty for a recent Catterick success taken to claim third ahead of the mare Cheeni who has placed three times here already this season.
