Forecasts

The Big House (9/2), Alioski (9/2), Inductive (5/1), Mr Strutter (7/1), Canford's Joy (7/1), What A Business (15/2), Florenza (10/1), Upstaging (14/1), Kupa River (14/1), Chaplin Bay (28/1), Round The Island (40/1), Cool Spirit (100/1), Glory of Paris (125/1)

Probably wise to concentrate on the three-year-olds, with the likeable INDUCTIVE taken to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. He's not run a bad race since the resumption and came clear in good style at Ayr a fortnight ago. Alioski was a winner himself in Scotland last time and seems likely to go well again. What A Business, unexposed over 7f, completes the shortlist.
