Forecasts

Showalong (5/2), Yazaman (9/2), Munificent (9/2), Mehmo (5/1), Spanish Angel (15/2), Ohnojoe (14/1), Loco Lobo (14/1), Stallone (16/1), Enchanted Night (20/1), Lope De Rueda (22/1), Sounds Of Spring (28/1), Rhubarb (33/1), Captain Bentley (66/1)

A few with chances but C&D scorer SHOWALONG is fancied to gain a deserved success on the back of his good recent Redcar second. Wolverhampton-scorer Spanish Angel heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for in-form pair Loco Lobo and Mehmo.
