Forecasts

Highjacked (7/4), Absolute Dream (6/1), Carlovian (7/1), Leo Davinci (15/2), Peachey Carnehan (8/1), Lady Monica (9/1), Sin E Shekells (16/1), Redzone (16/1), Sambucca Spirit (18/1), Rhubarb (22/1), Irish Eileen (28/1), War of Clans (28/1), Quercus (28/1), De Bruyne Horse (33/1), Deevious Beau (33/1), Billy Dylan (40/1), Chickenfortea (40/1), Jems Bond (40/1), Puchita (50/1), Effronte (66/1)

A trappy sprint in which LADY MONICA is worth taking a chance on to capitalise on a handy mark on her first run since joining the excellent Micky Appleby yard. Quercus should also have a say if building on his recent C&D fifth after a break, with Nottingham-scorer Leo Davinci and in-form Absolute Dream two others who warrant a second look.
