Forecasts

Mc'ted (3/1), Fascinating Lips (7/2), Clipsham Tiger (11/2), Eleven Eleven (6/1), Mulberry Silk (7/1), Engrave (8/1), Kingson (8/1), Classy Dame (12/1), Sunshine Fun (12/1), Azets (12/1), Vasco Da Gama (14/1), Boy In The Bar (14/1), By Jove (25/1), Parikarma (28/1), Alicestar (50/1), William Of Mowbray (150/1)

An open contest in which MC'TED just gets the nod. He's ran well without winning on the all-weather in handicaps and it could be the case that the extra two furlongs brings out some improvement today. Engrave has a good record over C&D and is feared. Mulberry Silk is a lightly-raced filly from a leading yard so can't be ruled out either.
