Forecasts

Cold Case (11/8), Funny Story (6/1), Maria Branwell (13/2), Maylandsea (13/2), Barefoot Angel (15/2), Holguin (10/1), Washington Heights (12/1), Misty Blues (18/1), Jumbeau (18/1), Signora Camacho (33/1), Lady Bullet (33/1), Primrose Ridge (50/1), King's Crown (50/1), Hour By Hour (66/1), Speriamo (80/1), Tatterstall (100/1), Oahu (125/1)

COLD CASE holds the clear edge on form and still looked to be a colt on the up when scoring at Doncaster last time so gets the nod in an ultra-competitive listed event. Kevin Ryan's Washington Heights has progressed with each of his four runs and is feared most, although Barefoot Angel seems sure to have a say too if, as expected, building on her recent Ayr victory. Maylandsea completes the shortlist.
