Forecasts

Shalaa Asker (9/4), Lilkian (9/4), Thismydream (16/5), El Hombre (6/1), Hit Mac (8/1), Mr Trick (14/1), Q Twenty Boy (28/1), Red Alert (33/1)

LILKIAN deserves extra credit for his recent Kempton second given he did too much too soon, so this C&D winner gets the vote off just a 1 lb higher mark. Fellow C&D scorer El Hombre is feared most ahead of the in-form Thismydream.
