Forecasts

Hooflepuff (7/4), Mutaraafeq (9/4), Sagauteur (9/2), Precisely (8/1), Cuban Cigar (10/1), My Target (12/1)

HOOFLEPUFF has a good record over C&D and he was only just denied a seventh course win at the end of last month. This looks weaker than that event and he should be able to gain another course victory tonight. Mutaraafeq looks to be the main danger following his Newcastle victory. Sagauteur looks the next best option.
