Forecasts

Zulu Girl (9/4), Regulator (10/3), Order Of St John (5/1), Kenstone (11/2), Kyllinga (8/1), Dancing Jo (17/2), Alfies Watch (28/1), Havana Sunset (40/1), Disey's Edge (50/1), Champagne Highlife (50/1), Tally's Son (66/1), Jaganory (100/1)

With question marks over a few of these it could pay to side with previous C&D winner KENSTONE. Adrian Wintle's charge scored from a mark fully 20 lb higher back in 2018 and, making his reappearance with Tom Marquand booked, looks set for a big run. Order of St John is sure to be popular after his recent win but may have to settle for silver today, ahead of the consistent Kyllinga.
