Forecasts

Kinch (5/1), Silk Cravat (11/2), Leabaland (11/2), Accessory (6/1), Ocean Air (13/2), Neyland (9/1), Erytheia (10/1), Chagall (11/1), Waterboy (14/1), Slade Runner (14/1), Briseuse De Coeur (14/1), Little Camacho (18/1), Scarlet Seymour (18/1), Lunastar (20/1), Deadwood (25/1), Crafty Hugo (33/1), Siam Dawn (66/1)

A very open affair in which perhaps the consistent SILK CRAVAT can bring his losing run to an end. Leabalad hasn't fared too badly is his 2 handicaps and is respected as an unexposed sort who may have more to offer, while Kinch has lost his way on turf of late but is now only 1 lb higher than when scoring over C&D in March.
