Forecasts

Cosmos Raj (3/1), Reidh (4/1), Tele Red (9/2), Paladin (8/1), Chuzzlewit (17/2), Jez Bomb (9/1), Kalamunda (10/1), Yaajooz (11/1), Electric Avenue (14/1), Triggerman (16/1), Finn Ironside (22/1), Without Compromise (50/1)

Lots with chances but David O'Meara's C&D scorer COSMOS RAJ can race off the same mark as when a good recent York second so edges the vote from Reidh who caught the eye when ninth at Thirsk last time and figures on a handy-looking mark. Tele Red, Electric Avenue and Chuzzlewit all command plenty of respect too in this very open contest.
