Forecasts

Arlecchino's Arc (10/11), Blairlogie (15/2), Mrs Benson (17/2), Jeanette May (17/2), Milldean Felix (9/1), Henry Croft (10/1), Tilsworth Lukey (20/1), Art Of America (22/1), Zahirah (33/1), Miss Pollyanna (50/1)

ARLECCHINO'S ARC has enjoyed plenty of success over this C&D and following a back-to-form second in a similar race at Kempton last week, is taken to go one better. Henry Croft is a danger if reacting well to first-time cheekpieces, while Jeanette May looks ready for another crack at this trip.
