Forecasts

Micquus (10/3), Champion Chase (9/2), Remember Forever (5/1), Little Jimmy (5/1), Mr Jim (5/1), Bennachie (11/2), Gores Island (8/1), Dancing Conquest (10/1), Try Catch Me (33/1)

There are few in this who appeal as reliable propositions and it will be little surprise whoever should win it. Remember Forever with Bryony Frost on board came good around this stage last season, but Micquus may finish closer this time having moved to Emma Lavelle's yard. Mr Jim won this 12 months ago and his chances hinge on the going turning faster. Dancing Conquest would have finished second last time from out of the weights and is on her right mark this time, but CHAMPION CHASE looks the most straightforward of these having gone close in similar company on his last two starts and with the potential for better to come.
