Forecasts

Lord Of The Glen (7/2), Arcavallo (7/2), Sin E Shekells (5/1), St Anne's (7/1), Slowmo (17/2), Raabeh (10/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (11/1), Longroom (14/1), Hard Solution (14/1), The Grey Bay (16/1), Alqaab (18/1), Shepherd's Purse (22/1), Coastal Mist (40/1), Highland Acclaim (80/1)

A tricky closer to solve but preference is for Paul Midgley's LONGROOM, who has dropped back to his last winning mark but needs to put a below-par performance at Wolverhampton behind him. It didn't look likely for a long way but Lord of The Glen came from off the pace to score at Southwell on Tuesday and he's feared most provided this doesn't come too soon, ahead of handicap debutante St Anne's.
