Forecasts

Bernard Spierpoint (4/6), Nellie French (6/1), Stroxx (13/2), Hot Hot Hot (9/1), Secret Stripper (9/1), Liberty Bay (11/1), San Juan (16/1), Mutabaahy (20/1), But You Said (22/1), Alya's Gold Award (28/1), Thegreyvtrain (50/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and it could pay to side with BERNARD SPIERPOINT to make a winning start for Darryll Holland given he can boast a C&D win and looks the pick of these weights. In-form Nellie French is another C&D scorer who warrants lots of respect.
