Forecasts

Persian Blue (2/1), Stash The Cash (11/4), Bint Alfella (4/1), Warrendale Wagyu (9/2), Marching Mac (13/2), Raft Up (11/1), Mecca's Duchess (14/1), Taygar (16/1), Exponential (18/1), Diligent Henry (20/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (33/1), Better (33/1), Doodlebug (40/1), Crooked Crown (80/1)

A few with chances but George Boughey's MARCHING MAC could prove the answer now he drops in trip having gone too freely when fifth over 7f at Wetherby last time. Stash The Cash is weighted to go close and next on the list ahead of in-form duo Persian Blue and Warrendale Wagyu.
