Forecasts

Elzaam Blue (3/1), Dionysian (10/3), Surrey Noir (9/2), Dirtyoldtown (15/2), Saturnalia (8/1), Starlight Nation (10/1), Deceiver (12/1), Satin Snake (18/1), Crow's Nest (20/1), Algheed (25/1), Sayifyouwill (33/1), Magical Max (33/1), Engelbert (66/1), See You Boy (80/1)

SURREY NOIR's form is on an upward curve so he is fancied to make light of a 7 lb rise for his stylish C&D success and go in again. Elzaam Blue is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Saturnalia, Satin Snake and Dionysian in a very competitive handicap.
