Forecasts

Grenham Bay (7/4), Thapa VC (2/1), Rabinal (11/2), Dutch Kingdom (7/1), Swiss Pride (8/1), Tartan Skirt (9/1), To The Bar (11/1), Roman Spring (100/1), Beautiful Surprise (150/1)

GRENHAM BAY has slipped in the weights and bounced back to form when second at Southwell 12 days ago, doing well under the circumstances given he made his effort much further away from the rail than the winner, and he's definitely one to be interested in again now. Dutch Kingdom enhanced his good record on AW when scoring at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Thapa Vc.
