Forecasts

Shatin Venture (10/3), Bernie The Bear (10/3), Phoenix Star (11/2), Tommytwohoots (11/2), Rockley Point (13/2), Stallone (11/1), Kipp Kelly (14/1), Henery Hawk (16/1), Golden Prosperity (25/1), Birdie Bowers (40/1), Safio's Princess (150/1)

Lots with chances and a tentative vote goes to BERNIE THE BEAR, who can boast a course victory and is favoured at these weights. Three-time C&D scorer Henery Hawk didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Wolverhampton last time out and is next on the list, while 2023 victor Rockley Point and in-form pair Shatin Venture and Stallone all need factoring in too.
