Forecasts

Mr Red Clubs (13/8), Strong Steps (2/1), The Gay Cavalier (3/1), Retrieve (7/2), Sooqaan (8/1), Steady Major (20/1), The Dancing Lord (50/1)

Strong Steps and Retrieve would be more than good enough to land this if at their best but there are no such doubts about THE GAY CAVALIER who is rated not that far behind them. An overdue victory at Lingfield on Saturday and a healthy weight allowance from his main rivals will make him hard to beat. Mr Red Clubs is always to be feared in this grade but his last couple of races have suggested he may be below his best at present.
