Forecasts

My Chiquita (7/2), Merrijig (5/1), Pons Aelius (6/1), Marbuzet (13/2), Sam Sarphati (7/1), Made For You (17/2), Ashington (11/1), Tarbat Ness (12/1), Achnamara (12/1), Queensland Boy (16/1), Trojan Sun (28/1), Kajaki (40/1), Giovanni Change (80/1)

This looks wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with in-form veteran hurdler KAJAKI to capitalise on a handy mark on a rare run in this sphere. Made For You heads the list of dangers ahead of Ashington, who both come here in good nick from hurdling. Tarbat Ness and Sam Sarphati complete the shortlist.
