Forecasts

Gaval (11/10), Chatoyer (7/2), Fleckerl (5/1), Manipura (6/1), Jacksonfire (7/1), Mad Endeavour (10/1), Quintus Cerialis (12/1), Kath's Boy (14/1), Diamond Indulgence (25/1), Allen's Folly (33/1)

Jacksonfire and Kath's Boy have prospects at the foot of the weights, but neither may be suited by dropping in trip. At the other end of the handicap, Fleckerl can be given a chance following a fair run last time and Mad Endeavour would be a threat if returning to the form of his Lingfield success three starts ago. However, the obvious one is GAVAL, a lightly-raced gelding who came good over C&D last time and is turned out again under a penalty. Quintus Cerialis looks best of the rest.
