Forecasts

Autumn Trail (3/1), Thrilla In Manila (10/3), Baltic State (11/2), Dana Forever (13/2), Qaaraat (8/1), Lord Of The Glen (14/1), You're Cool (14/1), Shepherd's Purse (16/1), Requinto Dawn (16/1), Dynamo Walt (20/1), Ginvincible (28/1)

THRILLA IN MANILA wasn't disgraced when well backed at Chester and could be the answer in this lesser race. Shepperd's Purse has a good record around here and has dipped below his last winning mark, so is feared most ahead of Autumn Trail.
