Forecasts

Fishery Lane (15/8), Don'tstopthemusic (5/2), I Am Mimi (6/1), Tradecraft (15/2), Melbourne Shamrock (11/1), Masterboy Davis (12/1), Jeu De Pic (14/1), Churchroad Prince (22/1), Quint Major (22/1), Aruntothequeen (25/1), Coral River (28/1), Jackmoon (40/1), Half A Chance (40/1), Avalo (40/1), Getamotive (50/1), Syracus Du Houx (66/1), Vroomvroomboo (66/1), Celtic Harmony (80/1), Coyote Spirit (125/1), The Diddler (150/1), Ginny Weasley (150/1), Fear The Deere (200/1)

FISHERY LANE sets the bar high on his fine effort in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and should prove hard to beat. British raider Tradecraft may edge Masterboy Davis and I Am Mimi in the battle for minor honours. Emmet Mullins point recruit Melbourne Shamrock could also have a say if the betting vibes are strong.
