Forecasts

My Little Queens (10/3), Bearwith (13/2), Giselles Defence (13/2), Destinado (15/2), Bulldog Spirit (8/1), Jaminoz (17/2), Ludo's Landing (10/1), Natzor (10/1), Real Terms (14/1), Bohemian Breeze (16/1), Tafsir (20/1), Where's Jeff (20/1), Letsbefrank (22/1), Sutue Alshams (25/1), Detective (33/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. Harriet Bethell's BEARWITH didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Ripon last time and can gain compensation off just a 1 lb higher mark. In-form Real Terms also figures on a handy-looking mark and rates the main danger, although a solid case can also be made for Letsbefrank, Bulldog Spirit, Detective and My Little Queens in a very open contest.
