Forecasts

Fougere (11/4), Kehlani (10/3), Lhebayeb (11/2), Ballsbridge (11/2), Cresta Cat (13/2), San Francisco Bay (13/2), Martin Spirit (11/1), Recorwoman (22/1), Leap Year Lad (22/1), Tiberio Force (22/1), Cariad (25/1), Golden Delite (28/1)

A chance is taken on LHEBAYEB who shaped quite well when finishing third after meeting trouble at Windsor last week and has dropped to 4 lb below the mark she defied last autumn. Ballsbridge has been knocking on the door over 1m lately and will be threat if seeing it out back up in trip. The shortlist is completed by San Francisco Bay who was runner-up on his first attempt over this trip at Bath earlier in the month.
