Forecasts

Wondrous Light (2/1), Mc'ted (10/3), Little Tiger (9/2), Bownder (15/2), Huggable (10/1), Timeless Spirit (12/1), Hibernate (14/1), Le Pelerin (18/1), Phone Tag (20/1), Jodhpur Blue (22/1), Lady Justice (22/1), Off Spin (28/1), Distinction (28/1), Hot Talent (66/1), Treasured Angel (150/1)

Unlucky not to finish closer when third at Leicester recently, LITTLE TIGER remains on an attractive mark and he is taken to lower the colours of Mc'ted, who made it 3-3 for this yard at Wolverhampton recently and is greatly respected under a penalty (officially 6 lb 'well-in'). The Jonathan Portman-trained duo Bownder and Wondrous Light both make each-way appeal, along with Huggable and Le Pelerin.
