Forecasts

Migdam (1/1), Brains (9/4), Punk Poet (6/1), Freescape (10/1), Ransom (20/1), Lust (33/1), Mulgrave (33/1)

A few winners have emerged from the big-field C&D handicap MIGDAM landed last month so a 7 lb rise may not prevent him following up for the Ado McGuinness team. Mulgrave failed to fire on turf over the summer but is much better on this surface and is second choice ahead of last week's C&D claiming winner Brains.
