Forecasts

Lady Kai (7/2), Lady Plimsoll (4/1), Trishuli River (9/2), Tickling (9/2), Pearl Jewel (5/1), Glady Eagle (11/2), Porsche Lad (15/2), Voice Of Reason (8/1), Gracesolution (11/1), Grey Fable (14/1), Theophilos (20/1), Sottsands (22/1), El Bello (22/1), Boogie Inthejungle (25/1), Doctor Grace (33/1), Clementines Dream (33/1), Desert Friend (40/1)

Lots with chances but C&D scorer GRACESOLUTION can race off a 4 lb lower mark than when a good fourth over C&D last time out so looks the way to go. Theophilos is on a long losing run but could emerge as the main danger on the back of a good recent fourth himself here, while Trishuli River, Lady Kai and Pearl Jewel all need factoring in too.
