Forecasts

Ford Madox Brown (3/1), Blue Flame (5/1), Papa Cocktail (11/2), Touchwood (11/2), Queen Of Burgundy (7/1), Mr Stanley (7/1), Melodramatica (12/1), Full Intention (16/1), Prince Rock (25/1), Dynakite (50/1), Sausalito (50/1)

FORD MADOX BROWN can boast a course win and is weighted to go close on the back of his good Chemlsford City second so gets the vote in an open handicap. Queen of Burgundy is enjoying a fine season for Micky Appleby and rates the chief threat, while C&D scorers Melodramatica and Blue Flame both need factoring in too.
