Forecasts

Walk On High (4/11), Ilestdancingspirit (3/1), Jumper Watt (7/1), Knightsbridge (14/1), Luwdvig (16/1), At Mangan Bridge (20/1)

ILESTDANCINGSPIRIT was only just edged out by a subsequent winner on his belated comeback at Market Rasen in March and the 7 lb he receives from penalised-winner Walk On High may prove decisive.
