Forecasts

Elmonjed (4/6), Finbar Furey (4/1), First Encore (6/1), Robbo (11/1), Ingleby Archie (12/1), Fauntleroy (22/1), Made All (50/1), Drifts Away (100/1), Frankie Valliance (125/1), Elliott (200/1)

ELMONJED has already been gelded but he's bred to be pretty smart and he wasn't extended to make a winning debut at Lingfield 17 days ago. On that evidence, he's more than capable of defying a penalty, with Finbar Furey and First Encore likely to offer most resistance.
