Forecasts

Charming Paradise (11/8), Axel Jacklin (9/4), Swiss Rowe (11/4), Extracuricular (9/2), Royal Heart (13/2), Chetan (9/1), Rinty Maginty (20/1), Butcherofstockholm (28/1), Annakonda (33/1), Farewell Kiss (40/1), Blairlogie (66/1), Cativo Ragazzo (80/1), Ness Ta Rah (125/1), Chantecler (150/1)

AXEL JACKLIN seems to have found a new lease of life and, having forged clear from the front to score at Wolverhampton last week, he's well fancied to go in again under another positive ride. Charming Paradise are both in form and well draw, so they could pose a formidable threat to the selection.
