Forecasts

The Big House (11/4), Aliento (3/1), Hoofs Happy Now (4/1), Brazen Bolt (6/1), Macmerry Jim (13/2), Willing To Please (7/1), Gently Spoken (7/1), Glengarry (17/2), Mr Orange (9/1), God Of Dreams (10/1), Zebulon (33/1)

The booking of Danny Tudhope for HOOFS HAPPY NOW catches the eye so she might be worth chancing from a handy inside stall with the drop back to 7f likely to be in her favour. Macmerry Jim is another 3-y-o who could play a part from a favourable draw. Three-time C&D winner The Big House also makes the shortlist.
