Forecasts

Tele Red (9/4), Harswell Ruby (4/1), Ghost Story (15/2), Croeso Cymraeg (17/2), Red Derek (9/1), Amancio (10/1), Star Cast (11/1), Lola Moon (11/1), Lesrico (12/1), Time Tells All (18/1), Pisanello (22/1), Pearl Eye (25/1), Four Fifty (28/1), Ninth Life (50/1), Whatcombe (50/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but John Butler's GHOST STORY rates just the pick of the weights on the back of her very good Yarmouth second so edges the vote. Former winners of this Red Derek and Croeso Cymraeg both rate big dangers however, while Harswell Ruby and Tele Red can both have a say too in this highly competitive handicap.
