Forecasts

Piton Pete (4/11), Starcrossed (9/2), Great Lover (10/1), Taking A Chance (10/1), Simafar (12/1), Bahama Moon (16/1), Moonlight Dancer (25/1), Cloudy Glen (28/1), Ballyhome (33/1), Oscar Bravo (40/1), Helf (50/1), Zamalight (50/1), Sugar Storm (50/1), Court Duty (80/1), Fire Ahead (100/1), Luma's Gift (100/1), Earcomestom (100/1)

Quite a few of these will show more when they have a mark for handicaps among those would be Cloudy Glen from the Venetia Williams yard that have taken this race for the past two years. Great Lover could also be put in that category along with Simafar. Despite the penalties this looks to lie between the two runners who carry that impost Piton Pete and STARCROSSED. The former may just need a slightly stiffer test of stamina and the vote goes to the latter who looks to have more improvement left in him after showing improved form to win at Huntingdon last time.
