Forecasts

Malham Tarn Cove (18/5), We're Reunited (9/2), Fishermans Cottage (9/2), Suanni (9/2), Tilsworth Ony Ta (5/1), Reckon I'm Hot (5/1), Kyber Crystal (11/1), Wiff Waff (12/1), Alya's Gold Award (28/1), Reversion (33/1), You Are Everything (40/1), Apache Portia (40/1), Epeius (50/1)

SUANNI has dropped a long way in the weights and looked back in form when fourth at Wolverhampton last time, so he's worth chancing over a C&D that he's been successful before. We're Reunited, who was runner-up here last time, is an obvious danger and Malham Tarn Cove is likely to be back on his game.
