Forecasts

Ceallach (4/7), John Alexander (9/2), Jaafel (6/1), Longclaw (7/1), Tyson Fury (20/1), Vultan (28/1), Duffle Coat (28/1), San Martino (125/1)

CEALLACH bagged his third C&D success when last seen in October and can make light of a 4 lb rise at the chief expense of course-specialist Jaafel who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when tenth here last time out. Denis Hogan's new rercruit Tyson Fury can't be ruled out either.
