Forecasts

Khabib (10/3), Ventura Express (4/1), Digital (5/1), Markakol (6/1), Good Earth (6/1), Emeralds Pride (6/1), Midnight Lir (25/1), Showhound (28/1), Glendown (33/1), Travel Candy (40/1), Jill's Jungle (50/1)

DIGITAL went down only narrowly at Hamilton last time and with the winner having gone in since he looks the way to go off an unchanged mark. Khabib appeals as the main danger on the back of his good recent Thirsk second, with C&D winner Emeralds Pride and 2022 victor Ventura Express also firmly in the picture.
