Forecasts

Shes Some Doll (9/4), Secret Cargo (4/1), An Taibhse (4/1), Satin Sun (10/1), Clarabello (10/1), Handsworth (11/1), Mr Bercow (11/1), Banjo (12/1), Mamaslittlestar (20/1), Justbecool (22/1), Pepper'n Salt (33/1), Double Jubilee (40/1), Serpolette (50/1), Fort William (50/1), Balaclava (50/1), Confusionanddelay (66/1), Crecerelle (80/1), Do No More (200/1), Golden Ferret (200/1)

It's hard to make a case for the majority of these with SHES SOME DOLL the most persuasive option following a brace of runner-up efforts over fences in recent weeks. An Taibhse ought to leave behind her opening run over the larger obstacles, with Handsworth another to consider.
