Forecasts

Blackcurrent (7/2), Athollblair Boy (4/1), Lezardrieux (9/2), Arlington (5/1), Yaahobby (6/1), Maveric's Magic (9/1), A Lady Forever (20/1), Stallone (25/1), Rockley Point (28/1), Secret Daay (40/1)

Old-timer ATHOLLBLAIR BOY is holding his form pretty well this season and would be giving weight to all his rivals if this was a handicap. Blackcurrent only just failed in a similar event over C&D last time so rates the main threat, with Lezardrieux also worth a mention given his record here.
