Forecasts

Dyce (6/5), Mrs Browning (5/4), Coldhardstare (7/1), Chyavana (7/1), Cold Fact (10/1), Gobsmacked (20/1), Rollwiththepunches (33/1), Godswood (50/1)

MRS BROWNING improved greatly last time after a below-par effort the time before and is arguably the one they have to beat. Chyavana is the most pragmatic second choice, while Coldhardstare also has claims.
