Forecasts

Bollin Ted (7/2), John Caesar (5/1), Palindrome (8/1), Moojaned (8/1), Ivors Involvement (9/1), Warfare (12/1), Life Knowledge (12/1), Diamond Runner (12/1), Outlaw Torn (14/1), Royal Cosmic (16/1), Graceful Act (16/1), Lean On Pete (20/1), The King's Steed (25/1), Shakabula (25/1), L'Es Fremantle (100/1)

The draw may make life a little more difficult for one or two of the leading candidates here but you would have to respect three-time C&D winner Bollin Ted as he returns to a venue that clearly suits him well. Life Knowledge is another to throw in the mix although he can be found wanting in a finish with Graceful Act another one who will appreciate a return to this track. John Caesar is likely to find this more difficult with Ivors Involvement one of those who has not been lucky with the draw. The two most fascinating candidates reside towards the foot of the handicap with PALINDROME from the Marjorie Fife yard getting the nod over Royal Cosmic. The former makes his first start for the Fife barn having shown he could be up to winning something like this while the later travelled well last time before failing to get home and this trip looks far more suitable off a basement mark with a good amateur booked.
