Forecasts

London Arch (10/3), High Commissioner (7/2), Toro Dorado (5/1), Mr Coco Bean (11/2), Alfred Richardson (15/2), Skerryvore (11/1), Howzer Black (14/1), St Just (18/1), Delph Crescent (18/1), Betty Grable (66/1)

It could be worth chancing LONDON ARCH, who is a low-mileage 3-y-o who won a novice here and should come on for his latest run. Toro Dorado and Mr Coco Bean were first and second in a similar event over C&D last month and should go well again.
