Forecasts

Hard Solution (9/4), Arcavallo (5/2), Shesadabber (11/2), Lydiate Lady (17/2), Lara Silvia (12/1), Jessie Allan (14/1), Popping Corks (25/1), Rose Bandit (25/1), I'll Be Good (33/1), Building Year (33/1), Trulove (33/1), Laoise (50/1)

HARD SOLUTION drops back into a 0-60 and the C&D winner makes plenty of appeal after his second at Wolverhampton on Monday. Arcavallo, who has dropped another 3 lb, and Lydiate Lady are a couple of others to consider.
