Forecasts

Volenti (11/10), Commander Crouch (10/3), Leap Year Lad (9/2), Odd Socks Havana (8/1), Jujubella (9/1), Wedgewood Sapphire (16/1), Martin's Brig (20/1), Wath Court (22/1), Pop Favorite (25/1), Barossa (28/1), Dee's Dream (40/1), Born To Charm (125/1)

VOLENTI pulled clear with another in-form sort when scoring over C&D last week and looks capable of defying a penalty. Commander Crouch caught the eye starting out for this yard here 6 weeks ago so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of 4-time C&D winner Odd Socks Havana.
