Forecasts

Butlergrove King (6/4), Pembroke House (7/2), Shady Glen (7/1), Walkami (15/2), Thegreendalerocket (8/1), Spring Steel (9/1), Horseguardsparade (10/1), Spock (14/1)

Many of these could win this if they decide they fancy it, but deciding between them isn't easy, and small stakes are advised. SHADY GLEN will appreciate the step back up in trip and might find the necessary improvement to take this. He and Pembroke House are the consistent pair amongst this lot and that alone makes them both worthy of consideration. Spring Steel would be interesting if the money came for him, and he and Butlergrove King can fight out the third spot.
