Forecasts

I'm Digby (2/1), One Step Too Far (5/2), My Macho Man (5/2), Diva Kareem (11/4), Glass Of Bubbles (17/2), Truffle Mac (14/1), Sea Willow (16/1), Fedora Fits (33/1), Canville (40/1), Blue Slate (100/1)

Slight preference is for I'M DIGBY, who is fairly handicapped on his best form and has run well on this sort of ground before. Diva Kareem and My Macho Man rate the principal dangers.
