Forecasts

Blackcurrent (5/2), Louis Treize (7/2), Rhubarb (4/1), Lorna Cole (5/1), Arzaak (11/2), Papas Girl (15/2), Gossip (16/1), Makyon (20/1), Mansfield (22/1), Trulie Good (33/1), Captain Ryan (40/1), Diamond Memories (100/1)

BLACKCURRENT arrives at the top of his game having just failed to complete the hat-trick in a similar event over C&D last month and can quickly resume winning ways. Papas Girl and Louis Treize might have found their last run coming too soon so are worth another chance.
