Forecasts

Autumn Trail (3/1), Equipped (4/1), Cappananty Con (5/1), Brenner Pass (7/1), Shining (9/1), Green Door (10/1), Zulu Zander (11/1), Thrilla In Manila (14/1), Champagne Supanova (16/1), Giovanni Tiepolo (40/1)

Marginal preference is for triple C&D scorer GREEN DOOR who signalled he was ready to put in a bold showing back here when sixth at Sandown last time and now has the services of talented 5 lb claimer Ray Dawson. Shining has returned in good form since a breathing op so is feared most dropped a handy 2 lb, although course winner Cappananty Con can also make his presence felt.
