Forecasts

Kensukes Kingdom (9/2), Liosduin Bhearna (5/1), North Star Oscar (7/1), Umbrigado (8/1), Helford River (8/1), The Macon Lugnatic (10/1), Voila Eric (10/1), Cosheston (12/1), Oscar Maguire (14/1), Eurkash (14/1), Darling Alko (16/1), Ifyoucanseemenow (16/1), Our Idic Boy (20/1), Call Me Tj (33/1)

UMBRIGADO was bought expensively following his point-to-point second earlier this year and he is taken to get off the mark at the first attempt under Rules in the concluding bumper. Liosduin Bhearna ran well to place at Southwell last time out and he can finish runner-up ahead of Oscar Maguire who represents a stable who do well in these contests.
