Forecasts

Highjacked (9/2), Stallone (9/2), Confrontational (6/1), Written Broadcast (13/2), Quercus (7/1), Jill Rose (15/2), Ustath (15/2), Redesdale Rebel (11/1), Lofty (11/1), Sheepscar Lad (16/1), Hurstwood (16/1), Peachey Carnehan (18/1), Reely Bonnie (18/1), Catesby (22/1), Royal Prospect (28/1), Vintage Polly (33/1), Princess Mayson (40/1), Maisie Moo (50/1), Bevsboy (125/1), Masham Moor (150/1)

USTATH arrives at the top of his game and this tough front-runner is fancied to add to his recent C&D success at the chief expense of fellow C&D scorer Highjacked. Confrontational finished just behind John Davies' 5-y-o that day and rates a solid place prospect once more in a race where lots are difficult to fancy.
