Forecasts

Cariad (5/2), No Barrier (3/1), Chorus Line (7/2), Bobby Dassler (5/1), Cosmos Raj (6/1), Equion (10/1), Mandega (12/1), Ardbraccan (14/1)

With cheekpieces applied, CARIAD has finished runner-up at this C&D on 2 of her last 3 starts, so George Scott's filly could be ready to return to winning ways this time around. She can see off the challenge of No Barrier, who ran well in first-time blinkers at Doncaster last month, while Bobby Dassler also merits consideration.
