Forecasts

English Spirit (11/10), Masqool (10/3), Sweet Bertie (9/2), Raihaan (7/1), Villeurbanne (12/1), Aiguillette (14/1), Mr Mac (16/1), Florence Street (20/1), Magical Dragon (33/1), Cape Greco (33/1), Nick Vedder (40/1), Weardiditallgorong (100/1)

Given that the third and fourth have boosted the form, ENGLISH SPIRIT may have got off lightly with just a 1 lb nudge for his latest near miss over C&D so he's the suggestion in this opener. Masqool, Sweet Bertie and Villeurbanne, for whom the booking of Harry Davies catches the eye, are others to consider.
