Forecasts

Baltray Lady (6/4), Runninsonofagun (9/4), Mighty Day (11/4), Dr Ali (17/2), Senior Montecristo (16/1), Udacha (40/1), J M's Joy (50/1), Show Your Workings (150/1)

RUNNINSONOFAGUN holds the edge on form so is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Mighty Day, who rates next best on the figures. Baltray Lady and Dr Ali appeal as the duo who can fight it out for minor honours.
