Forecasts

Samui (5/6), Almuhit (4/1), Mr Adjudicator (4/1), Bold Approach (9/2), Taipan (5/1), Nikhi (15/2), Zeeband (10/1), En Or (10/1), Longclaw (12/1), Lord Erskine (12/1), Kincade (50/1), Chiricahua (66/1)

MR ADJUDICATOR has a long absence to overcome but is on an attractive mark so is fancied to return in style for his top handler. C&D winner Almuhit heads the list of dangers, although course scorer Taipan and recent Bangor victor Zeeband can also have a say in this competitive handicap.
