Forecasts

As If By Chance (2/1), Classy Al (5/1), Surprise Picture (8/1), Captain Vallo (9/1), Lezardrieux (11/1), Kendred Fire (12/1), Prodigious Blue (14/1), Hail Sezer (16/1), Lost My Sock (16/1), Impeller (18/1), Mutanaaseq (22/1), Circoloco (25/1), Ruggles (80/1)

AS IF BY CHANCE developed a good course record last year, finishing in the frame on all 4 of his runs here, so he can gain a second C&D victory having returned to form on his latest outing. He also has the assistance of Tudhope in the saddle, with the pair successful on their only previous start together. Impeller is feared most following his win at Doncaster, ahead of Classy Al.
