Forecasts

Silver Kayf (13/8), Dans Le Vent (7/4), Stage Summit (7/2), Ballymillen (10/1), Lara Trot (33/1), Almost Gold (50/1), Kerry's Boy (50/1), Luma's Gift (200/1)

SILVER KAYF has made a good start to his career over hurdles and may be capable of defying his penalty and adding to his Huntingdon success here. Dans Le Vent proved that he handles conditions last time and should not be far away under his extra 6lb, while Stage Summit and newcomer Ballymillen are others of interest.
