Forecasts

Beat The Heat (3/1), Ivaquestion (10/3), Boulevard Beauty (5/1), Russian Rumour (7/1), Grimsthorpe Castle (8/1), Redshank (8/1), Haida Gwaii (14/1), Captain St Lucifer (16/1), Badreputation (50/1), Medika (66/1)

Simon Dow has his team in good form so IVAQUESTION gets the nod to make light of a 5 lb rise for Kempton with that form having been boosted a couple of times since. Beat The Heat has enjoyed a pretty good spell of late and heads the dangers along with Russian Rumour who disappointed last time but had won well prior to that.
