Forecasts

Menin Gate (13/8), Affair (2/1), Kaisan (9/2), Russian Rumour (8/1), Sunshineandbubbles (9/1), Sinndarella (16/1), Hidden Pearl (18/1), Paintball Wizard (18/1), Shadow's Girl (25/1), Filament Of Gold (25/1), Mizen Master (28/1), Royal Born (33/1), Debt Of Honour (80/1), Lady Of Mercia (100/1)

AFFAIR gets the vote to come out on top having made her effort earlier than the winner in a strongly-run race at Lingfield 8 days ago. This step back in trip should suit, and she should go very close with one of the most experienced amateurs taking the ride. Menin Gate and Sunshineandbubbles should both go well and are closely matched from their recent run at Kempton.
