Forecasts

Caius Chorister (2/1), Rolypolymoly (7/2), Wagga Wagga (9/2), Myriad (13/2), Eddie The Beagle (9/1), Gargle (11/1), Cicely (12/1), Wolf Of Oxshott (16/1)

EDDIE THE BEAGLE made an encouraging return at Leicester last month and is bred to be suited by this stiffer test of stamina. He makes fair appeal. Caius Chorister and Gargle rate the principal dangers.
