Forecasts

Lady Monica (11/4), Rainbow Mirage (7/2), Al Simmo (4/1), Heptathlete (9/2), Lethal Angel (11/2), Avebury (10/1), Penny Pot Lane (12/1), Company Minx (12/1), Hostelry (16/1)

A close-knit handicap in which a narrow vote goes to HEPTATHLETE who has already garnered four wins on the AW this year and can register another victory now back on turf. David O'Meara's Avebury is much less exposed and greatly feared now stepping into handicap company, with Al Simmo much respected too on the back of his career-best Doncaster success.
