Forecasts

Smeaton's Light (5/2), Royal Musketeer (5/1), Good Listener (11/2), Chipstead (8/1), Et Tu Brute (8/1), Alphonse Karr (10/1), Tanfantic (12/1), Churchill Bay (16/1), Lockdown (18/1), Rhythm (40/1), Ivasecret (40/1)

Lots with chances. ROYAL MUSKETEER came from last to first to score at Ripon at the start of the month and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights. Yarmouth runner-up Smeaton's Light rates the chief threat, with course-winner Good Listener not taken lightly either in a very open handicap.
