Forecasts

Bright Idea (6/4), Lord Park (5/1), Hamley (7/1), Longbourn (9/1), Solene Lilyette (12/1), Ebony Maw (12/1), Cape Islay (14/1), Alghazaal (20/1), Miss Myers (22/1), Casanova (25/1), Bring Us Paradise (33/1), Sasta (33/1), Getawiggleon (50/1), Sense Of Worth (80/1), Choice Of Mine (125/1)

BRIGHT IDEA didn't entirely convince under pressure over this C&D last month, but in form terms it was a personal best and he's capable of winning a handicap such as this. Lord Park, Ebony Maw and Longbourn head up the opposition.
