Forecasts

Ney (5/4), Churchella (5/1), Smart Champion (11/2), Molly Mischief (6/1), Pub Crawl (7/1), Ghadbbaan (10/1), Freewheelin (16/1), Bubblecraft (80/1)

CHURCHELLA would have won pretty comfortably but for repeatedly hanging left up the straight at Chelmsford so is taken to defy a 3 lb rise. The lightly-raced Molly Mischief is next best ahead of Ney.
