Forecasts

Mac Ailey (5/2), Le Bayou (9/2), Intercessor (5/1), Don't Joke (8/1), Good Regal (17/2), Motahassen (9/1), Nine Elms (12/1), Daany (14/1), Channel Packet (40/1), Vision Clear (50/1), Engrave (50/1)

MAC AILEY put away a couple of subsequent winners in good style at Hamilton last time so a 5 lb rise looks very much on the lenient side. Le Bayou only just lost out in a 3-way photo at Beverley 2 weeks ago and rates the main threat off a similar mark, with Daany best of the others.
