Forecasts

Poet's Pride (11/4), Blastofmagic (4/1), Motbeq (13/2), Danz Gift (13/2), Annabelle Rock (9/1), Manhattan Dandy (11/1), Adams Barbour (12/1), Ahyoka (18/1), Tassel Flower (20/1), Lapilli (22/1), No Speed Limit (33/1), Brave Display (33/1), It's All A Joke (40/1), Polly Douglas (50/1), Feelfreetojumpin (100/1)

DANZ GIFT is only 1 lb higher than when taking this race last year and is taken to bounce back to form and land an eighth C&D success. Poet's Pride could pose a threat if building on a better run in blinkers last time. Annabelle Rock and Blastofmagic are also on the shortlist.
