Forecasts

S'all Good Man (5/4), Battle Of Benburb (16/5), Melliferous (4/1), Palace Rock (11/1), Scott Lang (14/1), Pienta (16/1), Verini (18/1), Victory March (33/1), Stoneyford Boy (50/1), Banjo (50/1), Cousin Harry (66/1), Listening Mode (80/1), Allure Of Light (100/1), Fly Till Dawn (150/1), Blue Gale Five (200/1), Easy Breeze (250/1), Codger's Alley (250/1)

MELLIFEROUS still had a hint of greenness about her when narrowly denied at this course last time and, with the longer trip/first-time cheekpieces likely to bring out further improvement, she's selected to open her account at the third attempt. Scott Lang arrives on the back of a highly promising debut, so he could pose the biggest threat.
