Forecasts

Digital (7/4), Swiss Pride (10/3), Gannon Glory (4/1), Calin's Lad (5/1), Mohareb (8/1), Masterclass (9/1), Impeach (18/1), Hey Mr (40/1)

This can go the way of DIGITAL, who hasn't won for a while but must hold serious claims dropped into claiming company for the first time for his in-form yard. Similar comments apply to Mohareb, so Mick Appleby's 7-y-o is put forward as the main danger, with Gannon Glory and Swiss Pride rounding off the shortlist.
