Forecasts

Angelo Dundee (6/4), Brother Walfrid (7/4), Frankie's Freebie (4/1), Petit Secret (11/2), Minella Jackpot (20/1), Backinbusiness (25/1), Rosenborg (25/1), Ol Parson (66/1), Phoenix Lights (66/1), Forlio (80/1), Switched On (80/1), Misery Hill (100/1), Little Big John (150/1), Marble Rile (150/1), Vangaway (200/1), Kilmond Knight (200/1), Ri Ra (250/1), Siofra Beag (250/1)

BROTHER WALFRID was a bit disappointing in a bumper 11 days ago but he'd shaped well over hurdles prior to that and this step up in trip may well unlock more. Petit Secret hasn't stood much racing but has a bigger performance in him, with Angelo Dundee also of interest.
