Forecasts

Stanley Spencer (2/1), Heathcliff (7/2), Horse Whisperer (13/2), Crafty Spirit (7/1), Zaltalla (17/2), Call Time (12/1), Rebel Empire (12/1), Stacey Racey (20/1), Aidan Andabettin (25/1), Rogue Rosie (66/1), Morning Suit (66/1), Hearitfortheboys (66/1)

HEATHCLIFF got off the mark over 7f here last time and with that form proving strong he is taken to defy a 3 lb rise and follow up. The handily-weighted Horse Whisperer could emerge as the main threat to James Fanshawe's top weight, with Call Time, Stanley Spencer and Crafty Spirit also in the mix.
