Forecasts

Grange Walk (3/1), Glan (10/3), Mica Malpic (6/1), Snapius (13/2), Bal De Rio (8/1), Annexation (8/1), Wouldn't You Agree (17/2), Nodoubtaboutthat (12/1), Boom Boom Boom (14/1), Weddell Sea (16/1), Fascinating Shadow (16/1), Must Meet Cecil (25/1)

GRANGE WALK arrives in good form and is given another chance to exploit his significantly lower hurdles mark here. Weddell Sea and Bal de Rio should also go well.
