Forecasts

Cadogan (7/4), Slaney Drive (3/1), Wild Sapphire (7/2), Hamadhan (11/2), Ben Lawers (12/1), Spodo Komodo (12/1), Sigliosa (22/1), Battle Borne (25/1), Land Of The Giants (28/1), Candidly (50/1), Elman (50/1), Marmeladova (100/1), Sporting Aclaim (300/1), Chico Chico (300/1), Drumaugh Boy (300/1)

A big-field maiden with the vote going to CADOGAN, who is well worth another chance to build on his notably strong debut now upped to a trip more in keeping with his pedigree. Wild Sapphire and Slaney Drive are other key players on form.
