Forecasts

Lennon (15/8), Blenheim Star (3/1), Meet Me In Meraki (6/1), Newfangled (6/1), Saxon Magic (14/1), Bramble Jelly (18/1), Keen Interest (20/1), Weston Court (22/1), Sneaky Blinder (25/1), Aljadel (33/1), Hot Patootie (50/1)

BLENHEIM STAR is improving fast and had loads to spare at Brighton last time, so she's fancied to defy another rise to complete the hat-trick. Lennon is expected to improve for the switch to handicaps, so he's the main danger ahead of Newfangled.
