Forecasts

Crambo (4/1), Supreme Gift (4/1), Watashock (9/2), Jubilee Express (8/1), Godot (10/1), Shuil Donn (10/1), Halondo (12/1), Governor Green (16/1), Ez Tiger (20/1), Pleasedontworry (20/1), Bertie's Bandana (22/1), Poet's Corner (33/1), Of All The Greys (40/1), Charlie My Boy (100/1)

SUPREME GIFT won a point at the second attempt in May and he could do likewise under Rules following a promising runner-up effort at Southwell a month ago. Watashock shaped well starting out for Dan Skelton at Newcastle and is second choice, with Crambo perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
