Forecasts

Scofflaw (13/8), Tebay (10/3), Essgee Nics (11/2), Famous Dynasty (8/1), Ros's Dream (17/2), Kerrera (10/1), Nightswimming (14/1), Mr Sundowner (25/1), Colliene Do Rois (66/1), Mrs Tiffen (250/1)

SCOFFLAW is on a good mark and ran better than for a while when third over C&D 3 weeks ago, so he gets the tentative vote to land a weak race down in grade. If Tebay is fully tuned up for his return, he could pose a huge threat, while Ros's Dream isn't out of it if she can reproduce the form she showed on her penultimate outing.
