Forecasts

Mercurist (15/8), Weloof (11/2), Rivas Rob Roy (13/2), Cafe Milano (13/2), Mr Mac (7/1), Violet's Lads (9/1), River Song (16/1), Confrerie (16/1), Magicinthemaking (22/1), Seaforth (40/1), Fortissimo (50/1), Urtzi (100/1)

MERCURIST has been raised 7 lb for his recent C&D victory but the manner of his win suggested there is more to come so he is taken to defy his hike in the weights. Rivas Rob Roy also won over C&D last month and he has to be respected. Mr Mac is another course specialist that can't be ruled out.
