Forecasts

Mr Freedom (6/5), Lawn Ranger (5/1), Rechercher (6/1), Mr Zee (6/1), Carp Kid (10/1), Raqisa (12/1), Kentucky Kingdom (16/1), Torbellino (16/1), Ciao Adios (25/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but the most persuasive one is for LAWN RANGER who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth here last time and is weighted to go close in his bid for a fifth course victory. C&D winner Carp Kid and Chelmsford City third Kentucky Kingdom appeal as the pair to give Michael Attwater's course specialist most to do and can chase him home in that order.
