Forecasts

Burning Lake (10/3), Anjah (9/2), Miss Cunning (9/2), Blankiedoodie (9/2), Adapt To Dan (6/1), Praying Mantis (13/2), Fox Leicester (11/1), Caesar's Comet (14/1), Macadam's Rock (14/1), Going In Style (16/1), Complete Fiction (16/1), Chummie (20/1), Double Kodiac (22/1), Irish Ambassador (28/1), Stardayz (40/1), Spirituoso (50/1), Becozurworthadd (100/1)

FOX LEICESTER is handicapped to win and produced his best effort for a while when fourth here 9 days ago, so he gets the tentative vote in a wide-open handicap. The in-form Blankiedoodie is unlikely to be far away and, if Burning Lake returns to form, he could be dangerous back down in grade.
