Forecasts

Royal Melody (3/1), Jock Talk (4/1), Luduamf (6/1), Coachella (6/1), Imperial Link (7/1), Doctor Bong (12/1), Go On Mayson (12/1), Greyfriarschorista (14/1), Lady Gwhinnyvere (14/1), Raashdy (16/1), Secret Look (25/1), Yorkshire Star (33/1)

Quite a few of these are out of form, but potentially well handicapped. ROYAL MELODY might not be the best-treated in the race, but she is in good heart and that could count for a lot. Luduamf, Greyfriarschorista and Lady Gwhinnyvere are respected, but the biggest danger could come from Coachella, who has dropped to a feasible mark and will get plenty of assistance from the saddle.
