Forecasts

Fletcher's Flight (11/4), Wreck It Ryley (4/1), Lord Abama (4/1), Kodi Red (8/1), Em Jay Kay (17/2), Bright (9/1), Zaman Jemil (16/1), Catch Cunningham (22/1), Flash The Dash (28/1), Dunnington Lad (28/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but FLETCHER'S FLIGHT arrives at the top of his game so looks the way to go under a penalty for his recent Yarmouth victory. Lord Abama is feared most in his bid for a third success of 2024, although Em Jay Kay also commands plenty of respect on the back of his Nottingham win. Bright completes the shortlist.
