Forecasts

Pigeon House (6/4), Glory And Honour (6/4), Diamand De Vindecy (10/3), Justus (5/1), Golden Flame (15/2), Royal Deeside (28/1), Bamboo Bay (28/1)

Preference is for PIGEON HOUSE, who wasn't suited by the pedestrian gallop when runner-up at Musselburgh last week and can race off the same mark here. C&D winners Glory And Honour and Justus are feared most.
