Forecasts

Truth In Jest (10/3), Polam Lane (4/1), Twice Adaay (6/1), Stallone (15/2), Asmund (15/2), Dandys Gold (17/2), Buniann (16/1), Sixcor (18/1), Quercus (18/1), Point Of Woods (20/1), Freedom Flyer (20/1), Brazen Belle (40/1), Raabeh (50/1), Marselan (66/1), Marwari (66/1), Canaria Prince (100/1)

TRUTH IN JEST gets the nod in this finale on the back of a good run at Doncaster last time. Twice Adaay won't be far away if reprodcing the form she showed at Hamilton last weekend. The reappearing Polam Hall, who did well last autumn, is also on the shortlist along with Asmund.
