Forecasts

Mont Des Avaloirs (11/8), The Bay Birch (2/1), Spiritofthegames (9/2), Casablanca Mix (6/1), Garde La Victoire (13/2), Pink Eyed Pedro (17/2), Punches Cross (10/1), Crievehill (10/1), Azzuri (14/1), The Unit (14/1), Marracudja (20/1), River Wylde (33/1), Doitforthevillage (33/1)

Having travelled well for a long way when third on her recent Warwick reappearance, THE BAY BIRCH is very appealing off a mark 8 lb below that off which she landed this race 12 months ago. Mont des Avaloirs remains open to improvement as a chaser and is a much-respected main danger, while Spiritofthegames is also shortlisted. Casablanca Mix and Garde La Victoire are others to consider.
