Forecasts

Struck Gold (6/4), Sirius White (3/1), Warrior Square (9/2), For Real (7/1), Haulfronhobbs (17/2), Channel Packet (11/1), Ceilidh King (12/1), Brazen Arrow (12/1), Blue Curacao (16/1), Tranquillity (16/1), Calleveryoneuknow (22/1), Six Strings (25/1), Al Tarmaah (80/1), Lady Of Nepal (125/1), O'Mhaire (125/1), Manny Boy (200/1)

If STRUCK GOLD is in the same form as at Wolverhampton he might be able to defy a 6 lb penalty. Channel Packet had a quick turnaround as a possible excuse here last time and is second choice ahead of Ceilidh King, who is one to monitor closely in the betting on his first outing for the Jack Jones yard.
