Forecasts

Beset (10/3), Cloud Seeker (5/1), Ceallach (5/1), Zoffman (6/1), Harbour Wind (6/1), Cheeky Wink (13/2), Lope De Lilas (17/2), First Ascent (12/1), Lord Church (14/1), Mashhoor (16/1), Soaring Monarch (16/1), Fleetfoot (20/1), Mo Ghille Mar (28/1), Star Harbour (40/1), Westminster Moon (50/1)

Competitive fare but CLOUD SEEKER has barely taken a backward step in the last year ago, cranking it up another notch when a very good second in a big-field 10f handicap here a month ago. He's the most persuasive option, with Lope de Lilas and Beset a couple of potential threats.
