Forecasts

Ventura Express (4/1), Nelson Gay (9/2), Albegone (15/2), Soul Seeker (9/1), Khabib (10/1), Mersea (10/1), One Night Stand (10/1), Match Play (10/1), Muker (11/1), Alexi Boy (12/1), Paddy's Day (16/1), Rose King (25/1), Leodis Dream (25/1), Eeh Bah Gum (25/1), Flag Flying (100/1)

MERSEA arrives in very good nick and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Pontefract last time out so is fancied to gain compensation off a 1 lb lower mark here. Wolverhampton-scorer Nelson Gay arrives on a handy-looking mark so rates a big threat, while fellow recent winners Soul Seeker and Leodis Dream also warrant plenty of respect in a very open sprint.
