Forecasts

Golden Prosperity (5/2), Filey Beach (5/2), Brian The Snail (3/1), Bibendum (7/2), Canaria Sun (13/2), Bern Rossetti (16/1)

Veteran BRIAN THE SNAIL rates just the pick of the weights and looks the way to go on the back of a resurgent C&D second. Recent Southwell runner-up Golden Prosperity is feared most.
