Forecasts

Fanzone (3/1), Coconut Bay (3/1), Doomsday (4/1), Lezardrieux (4/1), Port And Starburd (11/2), Too Much Too Young (16/1), Onthebunny (22/1), Apache Angel (50/1)

FANZONE can boast a C&D win and comes on the back of a good recent second here so looks the way to go. Lezardrieux didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Ripon last time and could emerge as the main danger ahead of the handily-weighted Coconut Bay.
