Forecasts

The Groove (13/8), Storm Melody (6/1), Ocean Temptress (7/1), Cupid's Arrow (17/2), Bold Spirit (12/1), Fintech (12/1), Mad Endeavour (14/1), Hindsight (16/1), Dodgy Bob (20/1), Joey's Destiny (20/1), Faulkwood (25/1), Percy Toplis (100/1)

Most of these have shown an ability to handle the forecast soft ground. Fintech and Faulkwood are interesting on their handicap debuts, while cases can be made for Hindsight, Storm Melody, Ocean Temptress and The Groove. However, marginal preference is for CUPID'S ARROW, who ran well off this mark last time and should be thereabouts if replicating that effort. Mad Endeavour and Bold Spirit are also respected in an open contest.
