Forecasts

Feel Good Inc (5/2), Lilting Verse (10/3), Equinus (9/2), Highway One O Four (6/1), Bowenspark (7/1), Pic Roc (9/1), Mr Bramley (14/1), Blue Fin (14/1), Jean Pierre (16/1), Glanvico (40/1), Just Orlando (100/1), Warner's Cross (125/1), She's Out Of Reach (150/1)

LILTING VERSE showed ability in a couple of points and was getting going at the finish when third at Worcester on her Rules debut. She can put her experience to good use and get off the mark at the likely expense of Feel Good Inc, who has also shown form between the flags. Equinus makes plenty of appeal on paper first time out.
