Forecasts

Whitwell (9/4), Cusack (11/4), Charlie Arthur (10/3), Ooh La Lah (13/2), Poster Child (10/1), Thomas Cranmer (20/1), Firewater (20/1), Clayton Hall (150/1), Monticello (200/1)

WHITWELL ran well at Carlisle last time, shaping as if a return to this trip would suit, so he's preferred to Cusack, who should come into if the pace is sound. Ooh La Lah is another one to consider.
