Forecasts

Hajaam (2/1), Zamperini (9/2), What Wonders Weave (5/1), Scoones (7/1), Essenaitch (8/1), Eolian (10/1), Sonnetist (14/1), Ghinia (14/1), Katebird (20/1), Bartholomew J (25/1), Parish Boy (25/1), Aiguille Rouge (33/1), Booborowie (33/1)

A few in here have claims, including Zamperini under top weight, Katebird if on a going day and Sonnetist, now that he has had a handicap sighter. Ghinia is thoroughly exposed, but that may not stop her winning from today's mark, while Hajaam was impressive last time, but is up 12lb and on very different conditions today. Preference, therefore, is for ESSENAITCH, who is in form and escapes a penalty for winning a similar contest at Nottingham last time. Scoones and What Wonders Weave are others who can't be ruled out.
