Forecasts

Coup De Force (85/40), Four Adaay (4/1), Roman Emperor (9/2), Rambuso Creek (7/1), Spirit Of Applause (8/1), Gundogan (8/1), Pop Star (17/2), Starproof (17/2), Fiscal Policy (11/1), Buzz Box (12/1), Dandy Dinmont (14/1), Dark Dreamer (25/1)

FISCAL POLICY is going the right way and was clear of the others with the runner-up at Pontefract last time, so the 3-lb rise might not be enough to stop him going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Coup de Force is a threat and Gundogan isn't without hope.
