Forecasts

Arundel (5/2), Pay Attention (3/1), Something Splendid (9/2), Balayaged (13/2), Zouligan (7/1), Radical Design (9/1), Final Night (22/1), Borderline Madness (50/1), Savvy Stellar (50/1)

This is wide open but Jack Channon's ZOULIGAN looks open to a fair bit of progress after a promising handicap debut fourth at Doncaster so edges the vote from the handily-weighted Pay Attention. Pontefract scorer Arundel is also firmly in the picture, while Radical Design and Balayaged need factoring in too.
