Forecasts

Gunnerside (6/4), Afandem (9/2), Denzil's Laughing (5/1), Aleef (6/1), Debawtry (13/2), Sambucca Spirit (7/1), Shesadabber (10/1), My Friend Stan (12/1), Van Gerwen (16/1), Mr Trevor (16/1), Red Allure (25/1)

DEBAWTRY shaped better than the result at Thirsk last time and might be worth siding with from a mark which is only 1 lb higher than when scoring on AW earlier in the year. Sambucca Spirit is another who has worked his way back down to a good mark and is also shortlisted along with last-time-out C&D runner-up Afandem.
