Forecasts

Bellagio Man (4/1), Gold Medal (9/2), Beauty Choice (5/1), Sacred Falls (13/2), Trilby (15/2), Fortamour (15/2), Dickieburd (8/1), Glendown (14/1), Sibyl Charm (20/1), Athollblair Boy (28/1)

TRILBY is unexposed and took a step forward when second at Pontefract, so he makes most appeal. Bellagio Man shaped well at Wolverhampton last time, so he could feature if the race is run to suit, while last-time-out winner Glendown is worthy of respect.
