Forecasts

Comedian Leader (9/4), Havana Mojito (3/1), Edvard Grieg (9/2), Voltaic (5/1), We'renotreallyhere (11/1), Hellavapace (14/1), Heer's Sadie (16/1), No News (40/1), Spirit La Adelita (50/1), Shop Local (50/1), Cherry Hill (50/1), Admiral Fitz (66/1), Rohilla (100/1), Boleyn Forever (150/1)

COMEDIAN LEADER resumed winning ways over C&D last time with a bit up her sleeve so gets the vote at the chief expense of Havana Mojito, who again looks set for the runner-up spot despite enjoying a 1 lb pull in the weights with Jim and Suzi Best's mare. We'renotreallyhere and Hellavapace also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
