Forecasts

Sir Sedric (11/4), Cliffcake (5/1), Hazel (5/1), Insomnia (8/1), Finery (9/1), Secret Glow (10/1), Liamba (10/1), Harry Love (11/1), Delta River (14/1), Sycamore (25/1), Custard The Dragon (40/1), Wudashudacuda (40/1)

CLIFFCAKE has enjoyed a productive season and is only up 3 lb for his latest success at Yarmouth, so he's fancied to notch up another win after a short break. Sir Sedric is an obvious danger and, while Insomnia hasn't been seen for 7 months, he's still one to be interested in judged on his debut success in the spring.
