Forecasts

Fixation (9/4), Far From Dandy (11/4), Diego El Queso (9/2), Oiche Rua (15/2), Daler (8/1), Exquisite Acclaim (10/1), Charming Whisper (11/1), Flaming Rib (12/1), Rockbury Lad (22/1), Independent Expert (22/1), Albion Power (33/1), Solomon Coop (33/1)

FIXATION made the perfect start for Johnny Murtagh when a stylish scorer here three weeks ago and can make light of a 7 lb hike to go in again. Charming Whisper is next on the list on the back of an encouraging recent course fifth, while Far From Dandy, Diego El Queso and Oiche Rua all need factoring in too.
