Forecasts

Symbol of Hope (4/1), Autumn Angel (9/2), Jenever (5/1), Delagate This Lord (6/1), The Cola Kid (13/2), Oriental Spirit (9/1), Bluebell Time (10/1), Pepsi Cat (12/1), Mumayaz (12/1), Nordic Glory (14/1), Brian The Snail (16/1), Swiss Pride (22/1), Glamorous Express (25/1), Street Life (40/1), Vaunted (50/1), Princely (80/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but the most persuasive one is for SYMBOL OF HOPE who got back on the up when runner-up over C&D only five days ago and can boast multiple wins round here. Fellow course specialist Delagate This Lord rates the obvious threat in his bid for a hat-trick with Jenever, Autumn Angel and Bluebell Time all in the picture too.
