Forecasts

Little Queenie (7/2), Arnhem (11/2), Alabama (6/1), Final Voyage (7/1), Thunderbear (7/1), Harry's Hill (17/2), Collective Power (10/1), Dontspoilasale (12/1), Maggie McGrath (14/1), Dream Today (20/1), Jered Maddox (20/1)

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so HARRY'S HILL is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark and bag a second C&D win. Final Voyage could emerge as the main danger with fellow course scorer Jered Maddox another to consider.
