Forecasts

Aqwaam (7/2), Pledge Of Honour (5/1), Age Of Sail (11/2), Schmilsson (6/1), Dandy Maestro (8/1), Andaleep (9/1), Glen Savage (10/1), Five Zeros (12/1), Anythingtoday (14/1), Bad Company (16/1), First Impression (16/1), Carp Kid (18/1), Lawn Ranger (20/1), Silverscape (25/1), Tommy G (25/1), Oh Herberts Reign (25/1), Wise Glory (33/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. AQWAAM took a big step forward when opening his account at Galway and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and follow up at the chief expense of 3-time C&D winner Andaleep. Hat-trick seeking Pledge of Honour is another who seems sure to have a say though with C&D scorer Bad Company and the unexposed Glen Savage completing the shortlist.
