Forecasts

Twistaline (3/1), Closeness (7/2), Lake Sand (9/2), Sirius White (5/1), No Diggity (11/2), Roman Tempest (9/1), Somedayonedaynever (12/1), Lord Clenaghcastle (14/1), Moving For Gold (50/1), Tally's Son (125/1)

LAKE SAND didn't have the chance the market suggested at Chelmsford last time so that defeat shouldn't count against him in this winnable event. Twistaline looked on the way back at Chelmsford last time so is another to consider, while Closeness offered something to work on when third on yard debut/belated return in the same race.
