Forecasts

Western Diego (6/5), Will Do (6/4), Built By Ballymore (11/2), Suttons Hill (11/1), For Fear Of Frost (12/1), Linden Arden (28/1), Grace Faraday (100/1), Petit Dejeuner (100/1), Tom The Plasterer (125/1), Myfiabellaevard (150/1), Grand Rouge (250/1)

WESTERN DIEGO won his only start in points and is fancied to maintain his unbeaten record now switched to Rules for a top stable. Will Do looks the main danger although Fear of Frost is no forlorn hope based on his second in a novice at this course last month.
