Forecasts

Punkawallah (3/1), Rainbow Rebel (5/1), Splash Around (6/1), Stonific (13/2), Copper Baked (7/1), Doctor Cross (8/1), Royal Shaheen (9/1), Maghfoor (12/1), Mikmak (25/1), Pumaflor (33/1), Bounderby (33/1), Marcret (50/1)

The hat-trick seeking Punkawallah is of obvious interest given his form and record here, but he's taken a sizable hike up the weights and preference is for STONIFIC. He ran well in similar conditions to this at Doncaster two starts ago and off 3lb higher should be able to run another big race in potentially an easier contest. Copper Baked is another for the shortlist after springing a surprise at Wolverhampton last time out.
