Forecasts

White Crown Star (5/6), Fearnot (6/4), Arth's Gold (7/1), Westlain (16/1), Regal Guest (33/1), Lunanova (50/1), Dreamcrafter (80/1), Maundy Thursday (125/1), Mister Sandman (125/1), Turpin (150/1), Eager Puccini (150/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Clive Cox's FEARNOT is fancied to make light of a 7 lb penalty and follow up his stylish debut Wolverhampton success. Andrew Balding's White Crown Star also has better days ahead of him and rates much the biggest threat on the back of breathing surgery, with Westlain appealing as the pick of the rest.
