Forecasts

Muntadab (15/8), Darbucks (3/1), Shark Two One (5/1), Pembrokeshire (13/2), Obee Jo (8/1), Global Spirit (9/1), Mr Strutter (11/1), Jill Rose (22/1), Magical Effect (22/1), Smile And Pay (22/1), Vondelpark (28/1), Eagle Creek (80/1)

MUNTADAB is turned out quickly after his good effort in the mud at Doncaster on Saturday and the C&D winner has good claims if in the same sort of form. Obee Jo is respected back at Catterick, while Shark Two One has to be feared in his hat-trick bid.
