Forecasts

Methag (2/1), Quantum Of Solace (3/1), Mitcd (6/1), Viognier (6/1), Ilovemints (10/1), Miss Benefitz (10/1), Deduce (12/1), Cautorillo (22/1), The Mistress (66/1)

QUANTUM OF SOLACE is taken to defy top weight following a good victory on her second start for this yard last month. Mitcd was a winner on the Flat last time out and having been in good form when last seen over hurdles she can claim second ahead of Methag who is another to have won on the Flat last time.
