Forecasts

Kapal Layar (7/4), Korus (7/2), Rupert's Wish (6/1), Jessie Jump Jet (6/1), English Willow (15/2), Cornish Comedy (10/1), Bold Yeoman (25/1), Dessie Haze (25/1), Leader Wing (33/1)

KAPAL LAYAR's sister made a winning debut in bumpers and was later successful over hurdles at this track so, without the benefit of market clues, she might be the one to side with for a shrewd outfit. Several others make appeal on paper but English Willow and Jessie Jump Jet might be the most forward.
